2.
In the rare instance where hand tools do not work, because
of excessive engagement length, apply localized heat to nut
or bolt to approximately 232°C (450°F). Disassemble while
hot.
For Reassembly
1.
Remove loose product from nut and bolt.
2.
Apply primer to all threads, regardless of metal type.
3.
Assemble and tighten as usual.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Cure speed vs. substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the material used.

Medium Strength Threadlocker BLUE will react
faster and stronger with Active Metals. However, Inactive
Metals will require the use of a primer (Surface Prep) to obtain
maximum strength and cure speed at room temperature.

Cure speed vs. temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. Full
cure is attainable in 24 hours at room temperature, 22°C
(72°F), or 1 hour at 93°C (200°F).
Cure speed vs. primer
To shorten cure time or if an inactive surface is present,
applying a primer (Surface Prep) to the surface will improve
cure speed. A 3/8-16 steel nut and bolt assembly will fixture in
5 minutes using a primer, while fixturing will occur in 20
minutes without a primer. Full cure in 24 hours for both
procedures.

TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Temperature Resistance
Product temperature range from -175°C to +150°C (-65°F to
+300°F). The Breakaway and Prevailing Torque values
decrease as temperature increases, however the assembly
remains effective against vibration and leakage.
Chemical / Solvent Resistance
The product retains effective properties in contact with
automotive fluids, such as motor oil, gasoline, brake fluids,
transmission fluids, alcohol and antifreeze solutions.
