Loctite

[Heliplt]

I’m familiar with red and blue colored loctite, but when I remove a bolt from my Spyder I notice Yellow residue on the threads, is that a loctite product or maybe anti seize?

It's similar to loctite but more wax type, The bolts with it on can be removed and put back on quite a few times with out reapplying the yellow stuff.

Blue Loctite is about the same especially in the wax stick form. The Can Am threadlocker is only available from your dearler and is only sold in a large size and expensive as far a I know...

Loctite 242 is the blue thread locker product.

Loctite isn't good for the tupperware (panels). It's kind of hard to slide the bolt with loctite on back thru the tupperware hole and not get any on the tupperware. That is of course if you are talking panels.

3M™ Fastener Adhesives 2353 (blue) and 2353Y (yellow) are microencapsulated, room-temperature curing adhesives that enhance the anchorage of threaded fasteners. The adhesives are designed to be coated on the fasteners and dried; they remain dormant until the shearing action of engaging the fastener into a nut or threaded cavity breaks the capsules and allows the adhesive to cure. Typical applications are fasteners for the engine compartment or safety-related parts.
This is a normal temp formula that is designed for applications where the service temperature will not exceed 116°C (240°F). ​

Fasteners with these products can be reused a few times, provided the fasteners are not wire brushed or cleaned with toluene or a similar solvent.

Sorry, I'm busy in the garage working on the Spyder. :roflblack:

I researched this a while back, when I was curious as to the dried-up thread-locker on the factory screws. I like that they can be reused...although they don't hold quite as well the second time, according to the product data sheet.
