Just for clarification for the newbies that might read this. In the beginning there was just blue and red. Blue was for aluminum/soft alloy and items that needed light fastening and red for steel/heavy locking. Now there are dozens of flavors and the lines between the colors are more blurred. Read the packaging and ask yourself, "Will I ever be faced with having to break this apart in the field with minimal tools?" Or "Will I have shop tools and heat available to break this apart?" That dictates which Loctite to use.
