    Been using it for the last few weeks and find it very good.

    Any threaded fittings it seems to do very well. Brilliant for the likes of swivel fittings. Not that fond of it in front of cones like hemp and hockwhite. But other than that seems brilliant.

    Loads in the big tube and clean to work with.

    i've used that too it is good.
    best stuff i had, and you've reminded me to get more, was a tube of liquid ptfe, set hard in a short time, brilliant for parallel threads like gauges no bother getting the angle you want.
    A small bit of heat releases it easily.

    Could have done with some yesterday.:(

    Ill be honest I was put off liquid ptfe after working stints in chemical plants and my job was to disassemble units when they arrived and strip off the liquid ptfe for the likes of normal ptfe, hemp and hockwhite or hemp and stag depending on plants specs. But general rule was complete ban on liquid ptfe.

    If be slow trying new sealers but id have great trust in the loctite brand itself.
