Torque Seal

In case any of you are curious, this is the stuff we use in the maintenance world on full size aircraft..
I get it from Aviall... but available at places like Aircraft Spruce here: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/f900.php?clickkey=3836

I can't see a use for this on Rc aircraft. The bolts are too damn small.

I use it on all the smallest of hardware and also plugs. Gives you an immediate visual if a plug or screw is loose. But I guess if you are going to squirt it on like toothpaste I can see where you would have an issue.

I wasn't busting balls btw. Didn't know it had a tip that small on the tube. Does it have any adhesive qualities on your a2 for example. Will it hold those plugs in a bit? Like silicone?

Hahahaha ok... well I was No, it's strictly a lacquer based material and will crack and flake off if anything moves.

McMaster-Carr carries it too.

that's a great tip, glad to know what to buy when it's needed.
