Loc-Tite Issue, melted knob

[Johnny A]

I used a small dab of Loc-tite Blue on a screw, the knob end cap reacted in a way I’ve never seen before. It soften it, almost like a plastic worm from the old days.

Weird, what kind of endcap was it?

The one that came with the reel. Daiwa Zillion TW 1516SH. I’ve been using Loc-tite for 15 years +. The reel was purchased from a reputable dealer. Many previous purchases without a problem.

Ive never had that happen, but I usually use the stick that looks like a big chapstick, not the liquid. Just fyi, the low-strength purple is best to use for knob screws. The blue is medium strength and has been known to lockdown enough to break the riveted knob posts loose and cause them to just spin.

Yeah, that’s why it was so strange. I’ll have to try the purple and the chapstick style. Never had a problem with the blue though.

I haven’t been able to get a decent picture of the disfigured piece.
I’ll keep this one on the back burner until I can get a good picture.
Thanks.
