Half of those should be nylock anyway and not even need loctite.
I’m with @xsynatic, blue for everything.

Blue should be sufficient for all those, if it’s failing on you, try being careful about surface prep. Clean and degrease both sides of the threaded connection, and scuff them up a little with scotchbrite if possible.

I personally would use Loctite 290 for all of these. Very, very tiny amount on the shoulder bolts threads or even 243 instead.
But I also wouldn’t use the shoulder bolts, these trucks have real axles now you can probably buy. And if I got those axles, I’d use epoxy on the threads as permanent threadlocker.

PSA: Anyone else notice that the blue threadlocker tastes sweet? if you did you should probably get some gloves… that’s the nerve damage all thread locker causes. My friend who does gunsmithing which involves lots of thread locker has permanent nerve damage from using his hands to apply Loctite
INSTANTLY BUYS GLOVES ON AMAZON
So i was working on my board and streaming to our discord chat when he gave me the biggest dressing down lol. I was putting together my gear drive and had a box of gloves next to my work in the shot and using my fingers to apply the entire rainbow of various loctites. He was pissed but in a mama bird kinda way

Oh god not again who tf is tasting their loctite
Interesting about the nerve damage - I always wipe it off right away if it gets on my hands, and wash after. Figured it wasn’t good for me lol

yeah ever since I’ve realized the back of my bottle says something to the effect of “prolonged exposure may cause organ failure”, I’ve been a bit more careful with it lol

Apparently I have a talent for using loctite without accidentally eating it. There’s gotta be a way this can make me famous.

Why the fuck are people applying loctite with their fingers?
Finger painting for adults?

They got nothing else to finger
So I did some digging into JB-Weld’s safety datasheet, and one of the ingredients in their blue threadlocker is indeed saccharin, the artificial sweetener known as sweet-n-low.

I don’t use the blue loctite since it is harder to remove than the red which allows you to heat it up to get stuff off easier.
I’d skip the purple if those are the bolts for pulleys, and I don’t use any for the bolts to close/tighten the clamps currently since those fuckers are usually already hard enough to loosen without adding loctite.
Don’t get the loctite in your mouth. It tastes worse than it smells

I didn’t apply it with my fingers but on new tubes the stuff comes out way too easily so a bit got on my hand, I went to eat my breakfast while working and it got on the food.
It was only one time on accident
