Permatex 24300 Surface Insensitive Threadlocker Blue, 10 ml Bottle Review

Permatex 24300 Surface Insensitive Threadlocker Blue, 10 ml BottleEDIT (March 2010): It's still holding tight after 1.5 years!
----

Brief summary: It's been working great for over 3 months on my bike.

Longer version:
The left crankarm on my 20+ year old bicycle was coming loose every month or so. The local bike shop said that there was nothing I could do short of tightening it and that the problem would get worse until I replaced the crankarm (a >$100 fix and lots of fun trying to locate an overpriced unused vintage part on auction sites).

I researched the problem online and came across a few mentions of people using Loctite threadlocker to fix the problem. I decided to get the Loctite 243 since it is resistant to grease. Unfortunately, the local shops only carried Loctite 242 (not oil resistant). Amazon carries Loctite 243, but it is through a third party vendor which charges as much as the item costs for shipping. Fortunately, I came across this Permatex threadlocker, which is also grease resistant (#24300) and is offered with free shipping. My impression is that this is the same exact product as the Loctite 243, but rebranded.

Over 3 months ago, I removed my crankarm and wiped the gunk off both the male and female threads. I applied Permatex to the male threads and screwed the crankarm back in. I let it sit undisturbed for 2 days to allow the stuff to fully cure. I have been riding my bike almost everyday since then (about 1000 total miles), but the crankarm has not come loose.

I'm so impressed by this product that I decided to use it on other screws that would periodically come loose (like on my rear rack). Everything has stayed in place.

If you're unfamiliar with these thread locking compounds, be aware that there are several versions of the Permatex and Loctite. The blue stuff is of medium strength; one should be able to break the seal using the force from hand tools. There's a regular and an oil-resistant version of the blue stuff (best to go with the oil-resistant if you have a choice). If you need something stronger, there's a red version. You'll need to heat that stuff with a blow torch to break the seal. A low strength purple version is also available.

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker - 3.35 oz. Review

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker - 3.35 oz.I bought this in order to seal some parts of my car's valve cover mating surfaces.The shop I paid for the timing belt service to be done did not do a good job.Valve cover gasket never leaked before, it started leaking after they put a new gasket.Obviously they did not clean the mating surfaces.I did the job myself since I did not trust the mechanics at that particular shop.It does not leak now.
This product also helped me repair parts of glass molding (rubber parts around the rear glass) that started cracking, falling off.
All in all it is a great product and is worth the money.

J-B Weld 8267-S STIK Review

J-B Weld 8267-S STIKLike 45 billion other people, I saw the Mighty Putty commercial on TV and thought it sounded great. My husband sighed and said, that's been around forever, and a lot cheaper, too.

So I looked around and lo and behold, J-B Weld IS "Mighty Putty," minus the horrific shipping and 'processing' fee.

I bought this at a local hardware store to test it out (around $3 if you can get find it; my husband suggest an auto parts store.) It does work like the commercial says. I wanted to put up a towel rack in a guest bathroom without drilling through the tile.

Well, it worked. Set up in a few minutes. Next day you could hang Billy Mays from it, and I don't think it'd break.

I'd highly recommend the J-B brand, unless you've got a lotta spare cash and you want to make sure Billy Mays retires in style!

Permatex 80632 #14 Thread Sealant with Teflon, 4 oz. Can Review

Permatex 80632 #14 Thread Sealant with Teflon, 4 oz. CanA little squeeze tube (like LocTite comes in) of this stuff would have been perfect, and easy to apply as well.This is the Costco Industrial Size bottle - I only needed a little bit, and the remains had jelled by time I needed some more.Also there is a brush attached to the bottom of the lid, and the steel brush handle rusted quickly and tainted the sealant.I think most people dislike wasting resources and having to purchase four ounces, use only a few drops, then throw out a virtually full bottle because it went bad, just doesn't feel good.

J-B Weld 8265-S Cold Weld Review

J-B Weld 8265-S Cold WeldI'm surprised this product doesn't have more reviews.

I've used this product to repair things that seem impossible to fix.I had a hairline crack in my radiator... and it has held for over a year with this stuff on it (drain and cool and dry for at least 12 hours if you use it in such extreme conditions).I've seen this stuff used to repeair engine blocks.I have some holding my lamp upright after I broke the stand.

This product is easy to use and extremely strong.It's also toxic, so use gloves or tools to mix and apply.If you let the item cool, apply to a clean and dry surfance and you wait a long period of time, this stuff will almost certainly withstand extreme conditions.

There is also a line of wet weld and wuick weld products that are pretty darn good, but this is the best of the varieties if you can get the item dry and have time to let it set.
