How does one use loctite and copper grease?


Put a drop of loctite on the end 4/5 threads then using a small brush put copper grease on the next few threads...

 

But as you thread the bolt in you smear loctite all the way down the thread. Seems like a one or the other. Either you want the fastener to stay, or you want it easy to remove.

 

 

Why not try it for yourself and see if it works?

Although SS is softer there's two grades A2 and A4 (A4 being more expensive and better quality). I used to work in a marine workshop and due to corrosion etc all we could use was SS and they never failed. Bare in mind, it is softer which would mean, if it's a bolt that will have to be undone in the future quite often then there would be a chance of the head gradually rounding or thread stretching. We did used to renew them quite frequently.
