Typically, threadlockers achieve ‘fixture strength’ in 20 minutes and fully cure in 24 hours.

Besides, how long does it take for Blue Threadlocker to dry?The bottles that it comes in are actually made from something that’s air permeable. According to the data sheet it sets in about 10 minutes and fully cures in 24 hours (assuming that you’re using 242).Secondly, when should I use threadlocker? By far, the best reason to use a threadlocker solution is to prevent the accidental back off of fastener assemblies due to vibration. While not necessary in all applications, solutions can also be used any time a nut and bolt are placed together. Additionally, how can I make Loctite dry faster? Apply only a thin layer of Loctite adhesive. Apply clamps to the edges of the metal objects to press them together as tight as possible. Remove as much humidity from the air as possible since the presence of moisture increases the amount of time needed to cure the red Loctite adhesive. Does Loctite dry in air?Actually, Loctite doesn’t dry, it cures in the absense of air. Unless used on stainless steel, it will cure in minutes after you assemble the parts. Any excess on the outside, exposed to air will not cure.
