PSA: Don't use Red Loctite brand Thread Locker on your BGE bolts
RRP

Looks like a pretty slow night anyway so here's some good advice. Just in case you are inclined to want to secure your nuts and bolts on your BGE bands from coming loose please read on. Henkel which now owns Loctite gives this important information. Never use Red Loctite unless whatever you are securing can stand to be heated thoroughly to 500º to release its tight grip. Instead use their Blue Loctite which will do the trick, yet its grip can be broken with proper tools.
Now the really old timers here already know my next hint. I use no Loctite at all, but instead I do the old mechanics trick called "double nutting" whereby you tighten the first nut really good and then run a second nut up behind the first one and tighten it.
