Loctite isn't designed to "bond" parts together beyond .007 of a gap between those parts. (I think the 660 will will go to .020) Loctite 640 bearing retainer is what i always used on taper shafts, and I find it strong enough to eliminate the reliance on the retainig keys on those shafts. It is used as a filler. It goes in and remains where there is any kind of clearance. It dries in the gap, and has enourmous sheer strength, but no bond strength.
Do not use it to hold parts together. Use it on press-fits to make the fit stronger. --- Chris Johnston <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to fit some sintered bronze bushing into > aluminium plate, the parts are a good interference > fit but I thought some loctite would not go astray > either.
