Troubleshooting
Fastener won't loosen.
Apply localized heat (e.g., with a heat gun) to the fastener. Allow it to cool, and then attempt to loosen it with hand tools.
Poor bonding or weak hold.
Ensure the threads were clean before application. Make sure the threadlocker was applied correctly. Confirm that the application was between metal surfaces.
