   Fraid not, someone said that in a usenet group when the Loctite   
   came up. I never had a need for that myself, I just remembered   
   the comment. I agree, the Loctite web site is fucked.

   It isn't a liquid once it sets, that is likely the problem.

   Not necessarily. One that doesn't get used much   
   may well be fine with a decent brand like Toyota.
