Red Loc Tite

OK....are we talkin about Loctite 271 ???....high strength and high temp.
If the metals being using are of a Non Ferrous material, ie: Brass, Aluminium, Gal coated, Zinc coated and the like will cure faster.
The surfaces must be free from dirt, oil, grease, etc.
You can use Brake Cleaner to clean the mating surfaces.
