Lighter that that, you can use PVC pipe dope. Easy disassembly. But stay away from red, too much heat involved in removal.

Could someone tell me about the different grades/colors of Loctite? Oil, water and vibration resistance info as well as how hard it will be to remove the fastener is important to the applications I am interested in. I imagine you can figure where the stuff will be used (hint: I am asking the list). > Dave B. |
