Permatex 25210 High Strength Removable Threadlocker Orange Liquid, 10 ml

This is that perfect middle between the removable locktite and permanent. It works like a permanent, but if you need it to, it'll let go without tearing stuff up or making you want to throw a breaker bar. Holds up good, haven't had any issues with it. I haven't used it for anything needing over 100ft-lbs of torque, but everything else has been fine. Gave it 3-stars for "easy to remove" because...on one hand it shouldn't be easy to remove, but on the other hand for those wondering about getting it off stuff they've used it on, it's probably about as easy as removable locktite. Only gripe I have is I wish the cap had some wings or a square shape or something that would make it easier to open with one hand. As it is, it can be a bit frustrating to open up if you're in the middle of holding a part or a set of bolts.

Still better than any competitors

The Permatex 25210 High Strength Removable Threadlocker Orange Liquid, 10 ml, is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable threadlocker that combines strength with removability. This hybrid formula offers the holding power of red threadlocker while allowing disassembly with hand tools, eliminating the need for heat. It's particularly effective in high-vibration environments, such as automotive and industrial applications, ensuring fasteners remain secure over time. With three times the strength of blue threadlocker, it provides a robust hold while still being serviceable when necessary. This product is ideal for those who need a strong yet removable solution for securing fasteners.

Orange Threadlocker is the way to go if you need to keep a screw in place but not permanently seal it. Excellent choice!

Good stuff just found 3 bottles before this showed up so sent it back. I use this over blue anymore.

Strong like red, removable like blue. Orange is 99% all I use.

Truly the sweet spot between blue and red, and yeah… it absolutely earns the hype. It’s definitely stronger than blue. Not "marketing stronger" either, but actually stronger. Be mindful of what you're putting it on, because when it's time to remove the fastener, it takes considerably more force than blue ever would... And if after a long day you get a little carried away or careless with it, this stuff will happily strip an Allen, Torx, or bolt head. Ask me how I know. 😅 I'd call this perfect for high-vibration applications: thumpers, motocross bikes, two-strokes, and anything single-cylinder that loves to shake bolts loose. I'm running it on my Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono, and it's been rock solid. Bottom line: If blue isn't cutting it but you don’t want to go full red, Orange Gel is the move. Just use it intentionally and with good tools. This stuff means business.

BEWARE Used this on a bunch of M4 button head socket cap screws in a build with 2020 extrusions and drawer slides for a vehicle - worked great, no rattles, easy to use, etc… However - I’m now switching out the slides to something stronger, something I didn’t anticipate needing to do, and it’s been brutal. The M4 screws have a 2.5mm hex head, and so far it’s been impossible to get the proper amount of torque on the screws before stripping them. The only way I’ve been able to get them out successfully so far is by heating each individual screw up with a small butane torch until it gets to around 250° F, then applying strong constant pressure to turn them - this method is 5 for 5 at this point, and now I’m out of butane. What have I learned? Using blue on these M4’s would have ended up saving me what I’m estimating to be 4-6 hours of work in the end. Orange is awesome for an M8 or bigger, maybe an M6, but not for small screws where I can’t get the needed torque.
