[Fot] Permatex Red applied to rod bolts

[J.C. Hassall]

Amici,

What's the preferred technique for applying Red to bolt threads?  Lacking 
info on their Web site, I applied a uniform coating to the leading 1/4 inch 
of my TR4 rod bolts.  A day later it occurred to me that I might have 
weakened the threaded connection by applying too much.  But if I'd applied 
just a small spot, it too would have been smeared over the threads and 
might not have been as strong.  Yes, I'm overthinking the problem.  But 
what say y'all?  What's the preferred method?

TIA.  Merry Christmas friends!

Jim
