I'm confused:
Is Titebond wood glue a step up or down from RTV?

I know people who use glue, even finger nail polish as a sub for loctite. That is what I thought he was getting at.

Ok we've gone into a whole new level of insanity, wood glue on wheel studs! :rolleyes: 🤪 🤯
And you were wanting him to stop a few pages ago…🍿

I come into this thread once a day just for the entertainment value. I am also picking up tips on welding, glue, grading, painting, tires and so much more.😎

clean bolt with solvent, cover them in glue, hit them hard with air impact
The wood glue may even work given it has enough time to harden surrounded by vapour diffusion proof metal, a few months maybe, maybe a few years.

But one thing you never do and that is tightening wheel nuts / wheel bolts with an impact wrench. Totally undefined torque. It is acceptable to get the bolt in on a very low pressure setting followed by a torque spanner. But never acceptable for tightening on it's own.
