My bolts came loose from bottom ski to trucks.  Does anyone use loctite?

Red is high strength, made for parts you don't want to take apart. Blue is the low strength, for parts you will want to remove at a later date. I use blue on just about every metal to metal conection I make. Bikes to RC Helis and cars. I would be afraid that the red loctite will bond stronger than the bond between the insert and the sub thus causeing your insert to pull out when you try to unthread the screw.

Yah, one drop of the blue on each bolt will keep it in place.

I put some lock washers on there and they seemed to do the trick but good to keep a spare wrench in the pack.
