It’s your fault.
You choose to read a thread entitled:
LLT.
Now that I think about it . . . . I will never make it . . . .
Lock tight. Taste.
Yes. That’s right. The taste of loctite. Today, I was celebrating successes with regard to my current achievements to “takeovertheworld” and I got drunk. Doesn’t happen often since I moved to Texas, but today was a good day for it.
Realizing that I had not washed my gear for tomorrow (a trailfest is allegedly at Zilker Park . … . .early). I handwashed it in the sink. Drunk.
Next, I realized that my crank was not tight and that the Locktight needed time to cure as well as the fact that the gear needs time to dry. With that thought, I apply Locktight.
It has been applied before.
I am “big” so as I ride (“not far”) the Locktight becomes Locklose.
Quickly.
I must continually (about every 3 rides or so) Locktight the screws that retain my Profile Crankset, “} else {” (for you C - .php programmers) lose the screw to the trail.
Then it happens. I unscrew the screw and get screwed. “It’s the smell” (for you “Matrix” 1 fans). The smell is powerfully sweet.
What is “too sweet?” (for you sweet toothes)
“Ood na see um’” (for you Latin fans) (sweet to the point of sickness).
Locktight become brittle with enough stress (making this thread worthy of “rec.” It becomes like dust. When “one” unscrews the screw there is “nothing but dust.” Thus, I did.
I decided to BLOW the Locktight residue out.
SOME OF IT BLEW UP MY NOSE. IT WAS THEN THAT I DETECTED THAT IT SMELLED sweet. So, as a scientist I did the most logical thing . . .
I tasted it.
(There you have it.)
Locktight is “SAN”
(Sweet “Odd Na See Um” - or sweet to the point of sickness.)
I could not believe it. . . .
So I tasted two more times.
Yep.
It is.
That is the point of this thread. Congrats if you actually have the attention span to read this far . . .
My research shows that BLUE Locktight fails pretty quickly,
that it is extremely sweet,
it become brittle enough to blow,
and that it doesn’t seem to have an mind altering ability that can be detected aside significant amounts of rum . . .
. . . but it is “extremely sweet.”
