Just a comment on Lactate products.  I am reciting from memory but I think
this small portion of my memory is not yet corrupted.
Lactate 242 (blue) is a removable thread locker for bolts 1/4" (6mm) or
larger.
Lactate 222 (purple) is a removable thread locker for bolts smaller than
1/4" (6mm).
Lactate 262 (red) is a stud an bearing mount and is not intended for
removal.

Use the correct stuff.  Nuts and bolts must be clean.  It takes very little
Lactate to do the job, don't overdue it.
