Hi Earnest,

I do not own any 'airplane loctite'. What is the 'number' on the bottle? We can go to their website and look up the specs to find out. I have (and use) all of those that I discussed plus a HIGH strength version (don't remember the number) for studs and bearings - this has great gap-filling capability.
