    Blue is on everything. I use it all over when I just want something to not shake loose.

    At my job here at Disney we use several different types of loctite. Blue 246 is used the most. I'd say it's medium strength. Red 266 is stronger and used on things we really don't want coming loose....brake pads on the coaster for example. We also have a greenish colored one that a thinner compound and used before pressing bearings into housings....it's only used with sealed bearings. Then there is some yellowish shit that seems to make everything permanent. Bust out the grinders for that shit. Basically they have something for every application. Most vato zones only carry a couple of loc tite products.

    Yeah I posted pics from the "consumer" side. Industrial has even more and even more formulations of the same shit.

    If he's maintaining attractions I'd venture to say he's in facilities. I did a tour there, 3 years working Matterhorn. Minimum wage only offset by getting room keys from young ladies there on vacation looking for something to do after the park closed I mean.... that's what my friend told me about working there :anonymous: He also got a few 10k rated stainless quick-links that were bigger than my his thumb.

    Star Wars has nothing to do with us currently that's all contractors right now. I have shot baskets over there about 10 years ago. It really isn't much...a lot of hype for nothing really. I Work on the California Adventure side so my trips to the dark side don't happen very often these days.

    But you people keep paying what they charge, what's their incentive to decrease prices? Capitalism baby!
    Plus my annual raise is March 5th....you guys gotta make up that difference for the Mouse!

    Most Matterhorn ride operators went up there at least once to shoot hoops & sign their name someplace. It's just a half court with the backboard screwed to the "ceiling" joists. There's a bathroom & changing area for when Tinkerbell used to "fly" across the park during fireworks. I found more joy in just looking out over the park from the highest point in Anaheim. @Airdog if you ever want to lay low go up to the break room in the mountain, just up the stairs from the maintenance bay. Couch, table, fridge, microwave, solitude :spy: OK back to wheelin talk!

    Hi, I'm Phoenix. I'm from Pennsylvania and drive a Tacoma. I've been wheeling for...*sigh*...three years now. I've been trying to quit, but I'm having trouble. I'm here for support and friendship with like-minded individuals. I truly believe we can break this awful habit together.

    Aaaaaaand I bought another part. Dammit.

    Hey guys!

    I'm new here so just wanted to stop in and say hi. I'm currently looking for a 4Runner/Tacoma as a weekend dirt bike/ski trip hauler. So if anyone sees a good deal, please let me know.

    I'm located in Granada Hills but I work in LA and currently working on my masters at CSULB. Haha, yes i drive a lot. So if anyone ever needs a hand, help, etc... just hit me up.
