Re: Thread-loc on CB antenna?
Spoiled the joke. They are both "removeable", but the red is a lot less so.
But there are lots of different formulations. In my experience, forget the
color. Read what it says on the package.

I use 242 for the case bolts on my supercharger. They will turn loose with
an allen wrench. But like Earle says, go for the package label.

? Have the color codes changed since the early 70's ?
Green used to be reasonably mild, could be gotten loose with a hand tool
in most instances. Often applied to older mechanical computer gear that
tended to vibrate loose but needed to be moved very infrequently.
Blue required heat to loosen, typically a good soldering iron sufficient
to allow movement. Used where a part was put into place and expected to
stay there for a goodly time.
Red was rather difficult to loosen without solvent or heavy heat, used
to put cylinder liners in diesels by folks at PIE and similar.

Re: Thread-loc on CB antenna?
I can't think of an instance where I couldn't loosen the red Loc-tite,
or any other color, with a hand tool.
