Seeking thread locking pellets

[Ray Behner]

Looking for those little plastic (pellets?) that go in a drilled hole on the side of a threaded shaft, bolt, whatever.

Yes, these are the ones, but they are pre-applied. My count is way to low for that, but appreciate the help.

That's kinda what I'm doing now. Material is cheap enough, just looking for a quicker way.

What about cutting a short piece of solid copper wire? That is what I often do. I have wire up to quarter inch diameter.

Loctite sells a tape. Also a compound the you can dab drop that dries on the side of the threads. Compound is encapsulated and release on installation of the fastener.

I tried to find some before and it seems nobody sells them. They are just nylon though. I bought some nylon round bar and cut it to length.

Ray --

Are you familiar with Vibra-Tite VC-3? It amounts to a brush-on lock patch, and has proverbially saved my bacon a number of times. Vibra-Tite VC-3: The Adjustable & Reusable Threadlocker.

VC-3 isn't exactly inexpensive, but I've had several one-ounce bottles that paid for themselves a thousand times over on a value-of-time basis.

Thank you everyone. I've been using .125 nylon rod for several years. Just getting to be a pain now that the amount is going up. They won't allow anything but a pellet.
