Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking properly
Ensure threads are clean, dry, and free of oil or grease. Reapply the threadlocker after proper cleaning.
Fastener is too difficult to disassemble
Apply heat to the assembly (up to 204°C or 400°F) using a torch or heat gun, then attempt disassembly with hand tools.
Stick applicator is dry
Ensure the cap was securely closed after the last use. If significantly dry, a new stick may be required.
