Review on Loctite 135334 Purple 222MS Thread Locker | Low Strength, 300°F Max Temp | 50 mL Bottle by Christopher Millet

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Behaves differently than blue and red.

Purple behaves differently than blue and red. Above all, it is very quick - in less than 5 minutes, whereas with Blue and Red you have almost unlimited working time and immediate removal/installation is trivial, since that material remains liquid. Not so with Lila. It is solid when you unscrew the parts again. The result of this behavior is a second/third reassembly (because the parts didn't feel right when screwed together) which is time consuming as the hardened purple has to be scraped off the threads and also dug out from under the threaded blind vessel. Would the added convenience of being easier to take apart later outweigh the above? The time will show. but I'm not head over heels in love with purple.

Pros
  • Screw lock
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
