A DIY version of an industrial vibration test 😁 Nice 👍🏼. I have the same experience from professional tests. Red Loctite is good for moderate vibration. If you had continued the red would likely have lost the clamp load as well even if the nut had stayed on the bolt. If you are not already familiar with it, google Junker test. It’s considered the gold standard for fasteners. Thanks for another good video.

Excellent overview of Loctite Red & Blue! And thank you so much for doing the superglue comparison. We ended up using superglue based on your results as we don’t need resistance to high temperatures. 👌

The hardware looks like it may be plated in some way. Please note that Loctite needs active metal ions to fully cure. If you have corrosion resistant hardware, you have to use Loctite primer to get full cure. Super Glue or CA adhesive does not need active metal ions.

You missed one thing, tension works out of screw so if you put that much force on whole screw you would need to weld it actually to not allow it to break on any poilimeric substance glue... If you put it to cure properlly with acutally less loctite ( it shouldnt go over screw cap to get full cure inside because polimers are not sealeants agains air and need longer activation time in this case ) so this is not relevant test for vibration resistance, what u tested here is resistance against upper forces for screw hold kappa. 2/10

For torque purposes loctite is considered a lubricant. A wet torque spec should be used should be used on all the hardware including the control. That said, i think the difference between wet and dry is like 20% so only a 2.2lb value in this case. I don't think it would make or break your experiment.
