What Threadlock?

Not my research

Loctite do two main types of threadlock, Red grade which is semi-permanent (practically superglue - get the impact wrench out!!) and Blue grade (milder threadlock, breakable with a hand wrench).
Apparently the Blue stuff serves a dual purpose, one to protect the threads from corrosion and to prevent vibration and heat/cold from working the bolts loose over time.
