How long does it take blue loc-tite to set up?

I tell my customers not to shoot for a day.

I will take that advice.
Thanks

Set time is 10 min full cure is 24 hours.

Blur Loc-tite is a medium hold and will work well in most situations. Red Loc-tite is firm hold and it must be heated to 200 degreesF to get it to release. I have seen threads stripped and parts ruined using the red Loc-tite in places where blur would have been the better use.

The rule of thumb that I live by is if you never want it to come apart then use the red. If you want to be able to service the part in the future use blue.

LocTite primer is your friend. Speeds up cure time.

Red Loctite is the chainsaw guys friend.

Blue LocTite for gun work. Easy remove, heat the screw head a bit with a soldering iron.

What about the red loc-tite and is one preferable over the other and why, cheers?

I use Loctite 270 with high strenth when its possible to heat the part for removing.
That works fine - also with important srews at my car.
For mount bases epoxy is better. JB Weld is one of the best choices.
