You might be using the wrong grade of loctite.

If you are using a threadlock, it is not heat or stress resistant, it only gives a very mild grip, just to stop screws undoing in a vibrational environment.

I use a hi strength engineering adhesive one most of the time. If you want links to a half price clone, just ask.

John,

Thank you for the link. Some good stuff there!  :thumbup:
I wondered where I would be able to buy fresh supplies, when necessary.......

I bought a bottle of Loctite 270 a few months ago, and it has done all I have asked of it. So far........   :clap:

Screws, bushes, meths burner tanks, steampipes, and many components which are machined after "sticking".

Many of my assemblies are experimental, pulled apart and re constituted after a while, and I find this grade allows this very well.

VERY VERY COOL!!!!


Reminds me of all the people taking Mazda 3 Rotors, and "Trying" to make 3 and 4 rotors from them.

Obviously A LOT more costly.

Very impressive upgrades to a "Toy"


PS: I still find it hard to call a working steam engine a toy.....
