Reddit reviews 28802 Loctite Retaining Compound 641, 1700 PSI, 10mL, Yellow

Yes Ogralin's method will work well. Great advice. You just need to take your time. I think the best locktite to use is 641. It was made for retaining bearings in housings and cures when sealed without air.....if I am explaining that right? Until the seal has had a little time to settle you can do some repositioning. The bond can be broken if you need to remove the bearing at any time. It takes a short time to cure but it's best to leave it a few hours to make sure. A little goes a long way. https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-442-28802-Retaining-Compound-Controlled/dp/B000NZZZ7A/ref=sr_1_1/134-0573283-8528024?ie=UTF8&qid=1492203103&sr=8-1&keywords=loctite+641

Very good and helpful video, thank you!


Regarding the Loctite that you're using, you might want to check out Loctite 641 (bearing retaining compound). At first I was skeptical about using anything other than 242 (blue, which you use here), but when I heard about how fast 641 cures and how easy it is to clean, I was won over.

​

242 is very runny, and can get everywhere. As you mention here, it also incapacitates your spinner for a good day or so, otherwise you'll have trouble with the Loctite not holding properly. I can't recommend it enough, having used it over blue for the last 6 months or so. If you do try it, let me know what you think!

not true, loctite 641 solves that problem

if so (i know the AL is press fit, but I belive the Ti is threaded, but not certain about the St), that's probably the most likely cause.

i've heard good things about using loctite 641 Retaining Compound on PF BB's to keep them from making noise, but I haven't tested it myself yet
