Loctite 222MS as an alternative to 222 and 221
I'd like to use a bit of Loctite on the screws of my bracelet to be safe. I've read that 221 is what Rolex officially uses and that 221 and 222 are relatively interchangeable. I've also read that one wants to use a toothpick or something of the sort to apply just a tiny bit of Loctite to the female portion of the link.
However, it looks like Loctite 222MS is now an additional low strength threadlocker designed for smaller screws. I can't really tell the difference between it and 222 based on the data sheet. Is anyone using this on their Rolex bracelet and do you have any thoughts? Additionally, when I resized my bracelet, there were the white specs and residue which I assume is the Loctite used by the factory. Before using new Loctite, what, if anything, are you doing to clean the screws? I've read somewhat conflicting accounts here. Gracious friends! |
