    Who knew trying to find
    Loctite Blue Medium 242
    would involve three stores
    (Walmart, Northern Tools, & Ace)
    and coming home empty handed?

    I'm going to give the under $3 stuff from Harbor Freight a try. It's not going to be used on anything important, but the four screws are tiny and the replacements basically have to be ordered from the manufacturer.

    Oh yeah, the amount I need for each screw will be applied with a thin needle, literally.

    Edit: The Lowes website shows them having Loctite Blue Medium in stock. ?????

    FWIW I have used the Permitex stuff in various applications and it has not failed me.

    If it's the same Permatex brand I used back when I worked on my own cars I'd have problem using it.

    I used the Harbor Freight HFT Medium Strength Threadlock No. 42. The rear sight with four screws is on a rifle that won't see a high round count, & could end up with red or green dot optic.

    I noticed that Sam's Club has four bottle, different strengths, packs of Loctite. Maybe there are people who buy that much Loctite at once?

    I just want to point out, as it's way too late to edit,
    I meant to say I would have no problem using current Permatex products.

    ********

    We had a potential tornado move through our area, but well north of Houston.

    All of our three local major network affiliates preempted their normal national & world news programs with coverage of the potential tornado.

    Yes, the nasty weather deserved additional coverage.

    Yes, I can watch the news programs on the net.

    Yes, I'm bitching anyway.
