Two things- when using Loctite, the threads have to be very clean. Alcohol works pretty good. One way is to put the alcohol on a thin rag, and push the rag into the thread valleys with your thumbnail as you turn the fastener. The female threads can't be cleaned that well, but at least use a q-tip with alcohol.
Also, if you use red Loctite, you won't be able to remove the fastener if you need to, unless you can get heat on it.
