Watch This Before Buying 'LocTite' Online!

[tsbrownie]

Lots of odd stuff going on with online ordering services these days. Make sure you get what you think you're getting!

I think that's hot sauce...

I ordered Blue Loctite online. It looks like Loctite. It came in a Loctite bottle. I had no reason to think it wasn't Loctite. But what was in the bottle was just some blue liquid that didn't harden. Probably toilet bowl cleaner or blue Gatorade or something. I think that might have even been an Amazon purchase. I can't remember now.

I'm assuming you tried it on a tight fitting nut/bolt or something of that nature because Loctite won't cure in the air. It may eventually dry out, though. I had a friend who tried to use it on something that didn't fit well, and he couldn't figure out why it was never setting up.

I tried it on a dozen different parts of various shapes, sizes and materials. Stainless, aluminum, carbon steel, brass, probably other stuff. I couldn't get it to set up at all. It just stayed wet for months.

Gave them a bad review "they begged me to delete", Lol.
Cheaters have to steal what they cannot win; it's rampant these days.
Personally, I'd have deleted what they object to; and repost with twice the dynamite, including copy/ paste of them begging for retraction.
Might it ramp up their distain or pleas?
I certainly hope so.

ps. There are deluxe old oxy-acetylene torches, customarily associated with airframe and jeweler work. Mine is a Marquette.
Certain manufacturer/s/ are mass producing a poor copy, the photos are telling, gas control knobs are 'odd' color. Like TS Brownies video, it opens with genuine article, but the sequence has the fake. It fooled me, though noticed the bottle distinctive red forever color just wasn't, but similar font had me until he disclosed. The torch ads do the same. One so bold to feature an entire box of gear, when all the sucker is going to receive is a clamshell of junky torch shaped objects.
Yeah, wonder how many unsuspecting artisans are going to suffer, burn down their shop or worse.

A least, hot sauce would do something.

I've detailed this dozens of times, all this kind of thing was predicted by those concerned with industry, late 90's; while government forged ahead with offshoring legislation. Counterfeiting, patent and trademark theft/ infringement were very high on the list, including the impossibility of remedy or compensation.

They're on the verge of threatening us, and we've financed it.

I worked for one of the tech firms. Took millions in government subsidies, then offshored thousands of good jobs.
