    Loctite... it works

    So I was attempting to use loctite to fix my knife that keeps coming loose. Cut tip off new package, starts to pour out.... should have shook it first, recap shake, didn't realize it pretty much really runny liquid, so I tipped it forward, and instead of a dab, whole inside of knife gets coated, now it a rush to get it off before hardening. Got it cleaned, thinking ahead, put screw onto my screw driver so I could just coat the threads and wipe of excess, well it pours out again. all down the driver, which was one of the kind you can switch the bits on, after I get knife back together, I tried to take the bit out of the driver because while I noticed the loctite slide down it I figured I had time to get it out and well its meant to seal threads. Regular pliers were no match, vice grips did work, but i was impressed at how well the loctite was holding right up until it finally gave way and I smacked myself in the face.

    So I guess I had several moments of fail in just that 30min, and a few others today.

    I hope you didn't have any locktite on your hand when you did that.

        I've got that beat:


        CW phones up before her shift. "Really sorry Bunny, but I've got to take my dad into hospital. You see my mum keeps my dad's glaucoma eye-drops in the same draw as the superglue. And..."

            I recently had a run-in with some Loc-tite. Contact with but a fraction of a drop was enough to cause serious immediate stickyness between my fingers and some wax paper. I was trying to glue some parts of a folding cloth fan together, albeit relatively unsuccessfully. Veeerry fast acting, on flesh.

              Yeah. Why would anyone keep a "medicine chest" item near a "utility chest" item?

                  Nope, she was telling the truth. Her father was in a few days later. The skin around his eyes was all raw a peeling. We were joking about it and he said "I'm supposed to be the one with the buggered eye-sight!"

                    Is LockTight the same as Superglue?

                    You have my sympathies. I hate days like that when I am a total klutz. It's just time to crawl back into bed and get into the fetal position for awhile. *sigh*

                      In an essence it is sort of like super glue but not really since it more specialized for metal in situations where you don't want a bolt to just vibrate loose. it is liquid that hardens into like a plastic/wax that just bonds the threads of a bolt to whatever it is bolted to.

                      I used Blue which can be broken by common handtools

                      Red I guess would be super glue, my old roommate almost found out the hard way, since the only way to remove a nut secured with that is by heating it to 500 degrees. Not exactly something you should consider putting on lug nuts holding the spare tire on your car because you hit a curb.

                        You do realize that loctite is removed either by loctite remover or alcohol?

                        My deepest sympathies, but at least you didn't cut yourself fighting with wither the loctite or the driver ...

                          Yes and no. Traditional Loc-Tite is not superglue. It comes in blue (temporary bond) and red (not temporary). Both are designed to lock threaded items together so they can't come loose (an air hose for a compressed air system, for example). Both are unlocked with the application of heat.

                          But confusing the issue, is the fact that in recent years, the Loc-Tite brand has introduced a superglue product, using the same labeling style as the red and blue.

                            I got superglue all over my hand once, resulting in my fingers being glued together like a mitten.

                            And when my dad was a young kid (long story short) he put polygrip in his galoshes and then ran a paper route in them.

                            Fun times.

                              my family banned me from using super glue.
                              i seemed to do something silly everytime i used it.

                              Ive glued my fingers together, glued my foot to a shoe, glued my knees together, glued my lips together, glued one hand to another, glued quite a few items to my hands and the one that seems to make people laugh at is i once glued my friend to a wall by accident.

                              i do have super glue round here somewhere but dont go out of my way to use it.
