FAQs
What is the difference between medium and high-strength threadlockers?
Medium-strength threadlockers (like this one) provide a secure bond that resists vibration but can typically be disassembled with hand tools. High-strength threadlockers require heat and tools for disassembly and are used for permanent bonding applications.
Can I use this on plastic fasteners?
This product is designed for metal fasteners. It is not recommended for use on plastic components as it may cause damage or degradation.
What is the shelf life of Workshopwarehouse Nut Lock?
When stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the product typically has a shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture. Always check the batch number for specific expiry dates.
How long does it take to cure?
The product achieves handling strength in about 1-2 hours and full cure in approximately 24 hours at room temperature (20-25°C). Curing time will be longer at lower temperatures.
Can I use this on parts that will be exposed to oil and petrol?
Yes, this product is suitable for use with oil, petrol, and diesel, and is designed to withstand harsh environments.
What is the maximum gap this product can fill?
The maximum recommended gap fill for this medium-strength Nut Lock is 0.25 mm.
Troubleshooting
Fastener loosens over time.
Ensure threads were properly cleaned and degreased before application. Verify sufficient product was applied and allowed adequate cure time. Check if the application temperature was within the recommended range.
Difficulty removing the fastener.
Apply heat to the assembly (e.g., with a heat gun or torch) to soften the adhesive before attempting removal with hand tools. Ensure you are using appropriate tools and applying steady force.
Product appears dried out in the bottle.
Ensure the cap was properly sealed after each use. Store in a cool, dry environment. If significantly dried out, the product may no longer be effective.
