    On the threads? or over over the screw when tight because I have done that before but not on threads
    i would think on threads it would be very hard to get out?

    On threads. Holds like red loctite but breaks loose like blue loctite.

    I have never had screws back out. Do you torque them? I think If I had to use it I would use the purple 222


    I have only used Blue(and red) Loc tite on screws in extreme service. My $.02
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I have to think it's impossible to "hold like red but break loose like blue". Red loctite takes 500+ degrees to break its bond. I used to use blue but have moved the lighter purple 222. Just enough to ensure it does not move.
