Red Loctite

[Deye76]

The auto parts stores around here all stock Permatex. No Loctite to be had unless ordered online.

Bought a product decades ago, Permatex Green Wick n Lock. Was fabulous. Applied to tightened fasteners.

That is what I use after truing a laced wheel

I'd be a little nervous about using any type of thread locker on spokes and nipples. Generally you want to use just the opposite, an anti-seize product. The problem with spokes is they are strong in tension, but not so much in torque/twisting. So if you ever need to adjust/remove, good chance of breaking. Best of luck, though.

Lots of both blue and red at Home Depot today. $7.38. Ouch.

After truing wheel to specs just a drop on each nipple. If you need to take it apart just heat it to about 350*-400*.
