Field Report: You've Been Living A Loctite Lie! (Maybe).

When it comes to performance parts and tools we all want to reach 'straight for the top shelf' and get the best we can. While that isn't always possible for some high price components, when choosing between purple, blue or red Loctite at the same price point, many assume that red must be the strongest and therefore 'best' option. These people are wrong, and they're possibly also applying the compound incorrectly too! Use ‘PODCAST75’ for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/...
