LocTite

Finally ran out of my last Big Bottle purchase of the blue standard, went back to the store I bought my last bottle from.
They didn't have it anymore. Yeah..they had the puny little 1.5gram vials for $10...but not the MAN size!!
Was referred to several other stores...didn't find it.
Ended up at a local bearing supply house. They had all sorts of LocTite products including the green press fit stuff I earlier had to special order from some other actual LocTite dealer for my KX fork swap.
Not cheap in such quantity..close to $30, but there is much more product for the money in the larger bottles.
AND...my old bottle didn't fare too well in the reseal area. The cap didn't have a cleaning pin, fluid buildup on the bottle-top threads soon led to a broken spout. Toward the end of the bottle it was a matter of prying off the goobered top and using my finger to daub the product on threads.
The NEW bottle has one'a those neat pull top spouts that cleanly seals off the product when you aren't using it..AND allows for a much easier application.
This pull top applicator is the same as used on LocTite's super glues. You can buy a container of that stuff and actually USE it for a long time without having a plugged up spout, broken applicator tips, dried out product.
Good stuff!!
