No regrets.

Ronbo...The Green Loctite is for small diameter fasteners to be "Wicked" into the threads after assembly. It's not a high strength thread locker.
Yep, medium high. The green settels better in fine thread bolts than blue or red, there's also a loctite green bearing set. There's also a loctite yellow which you use if you never want to remove the bolt. Back in Cleveland a machinist friend of mine was also a rep for loctite he was the one who I found out about the yellow stuff from. I'm not sure where you'd get it as I've never seen anyone selling the yellow. (not that I'd ever use it)

Let's see if this works... http://www.henkelna.com/cps/rde/xchg...on%3Dsearch%7C
