SUMMARY
The discussion centers around the use of Loctite glue in unconventional applications, specifically dental implants. Participants emphasize that while Loctite Red is commonly known, JB WELD is preferred for its superior threadlocking capabilities. The conversation also touches on the humorous aspects of military culture and the practical uses of tools like zip ties and Crescent-Hammers in various scenarios. Ultimately, the consensus is that JB WELD is more effective than Loctite Red for securing bolts and screws.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of threadlocking compounds, specifically JB WELD and Loctite Red
- Familiarity with basic mechanical tools such as Crescent-Hammers
- Knowledge of dental implant procedures and materials
- Awareness of military culture and terminology related to tool usage
- Research the properties and applications of JB WELD as a threadlocker
- Explore the differences between various Loctite products, including Loctite Red
- Learn about best practices for securing dental implants and related materials
- Investigate the historical context of tool usage in military settings
This discussion is beneficial for mechanical engineers, dental professionals, military personnel, and hobbyists interested in effective adhesive solutions and tool applications.

As a young sailor technician (ICFN E-3 - I Can't Fix Nothing - senior to E-2 ICFA - I Can Fix Anything), I learned; "If it moves, salute it. If you can't salute it, then paint it. If you can't paint it, then throw it over the side."

When tape fails it's time for the big guns.

That's the Navy version. In the Army, it's "If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, paint it green."

Skip the red stuff. JB WELD is a better threadlocker and most people under-tighten bolts causing them not to cold weld so you need a Crescent-Hammer.

Almost forgot one. It's useful after the job too.
During the 70's the Navy defacto banned them as drug paraphernalia with the exception of two groups. Doc's and electronic techs. We usually had several clipped to our bell-bottoms just to spin-up the officers.

Ya got to love Loctite, I told the guy doing my dental implant just Loctite the screw back into the socket and forget the tooth, he asked "what is Loctite?". The guy is dry as a popcorn fart. My dentist and his assistant thought it was a good idea until they figured out it would cost them money. We glue models together with it, just the best stuff available.
