What kind of loctite, or color, is best for using on the screws for folders ? Specifically, Strider SnG.

Use the blue and just a dab of it.A hair dryer will work to loosen them at a later date if need be.That being said I would only use it if it was really necessary.

Blue. It comes in a red plastic container. I think it's Loctite 242.

The real question is,
Are all locktites created equal, as in the off brand stuff, or should you always buy genuine?

The non-namebrand stuff I just bought didn't seem to hold very well. So was it my method or is there simply no subsitute for the real thing?

i have been using an off brand for a while w/no probs, ya gotta be sure to get the grease/oil out of the pivot hole and off the screw (or whatever ya are applying it to) i clean it w/alcohol sometimes. if ya dont get the oil out, it wont stick. also let it dry for a good hour/2.

I let the blue loctite sit overnight.

Any less and it may not set up completely.

Just to update, thanks for the info from everyone. I went to home depot, the stuff is:

Made by: Pacer Technology

It's called: Pro Seal / Pro Lock "Thread Lock"
Get the bottle that says "removable"
It's .20 fl. oz.
part number: 24206.

E-z to use, used it on the strider SnG, and the buck / mayo.

Once again, thank you
