Loctite

Locks bolts tight

Loctite is a brand of adhesives and sealants, particularly threadlockers—compounds applied to screws and bolts to prevent loosening from vibration.

The brand has become genericized in workshop contexts: Put some Loctite on those bolts before you tighten them.

Different formulations vary in strength, with blue being removable and red being permanent.
