Activation - With passive metals (stainless steel, aluminium and plated metals), use activator LOCTITE® 7649 (see cure speed vs activator graph in the TDS).
2. Application
Apply a 360° bead to the leading male thread, leaving the first thread free.
For bigger threads, apply both on male and female threads.
