Any Chain Stores Carry Loctite 222 (Locktite Purple) ?

[Deep Creek Rock]

Does anyone know if any common chain stores stocks or carries Loc Tite 222 - purple low strength ?

I need to mount a scope (Rings & Base) etc, and need some this week. I checked the local Auto Parts store (NAPA), and they dont carry it. Wasnt sure if Wally Worlds, or Lowe's carry it. Maybe some of you have run into it at certain chain stores.

Like a dumb ass I forgot to add it to my order when I ordered the scope , and base/rings set ....

I have seen Locktitie at both Lowes and Home Depot. Not sure which variety.

I've never had a problem with blue, its fairly easy to find I think.

Home Depot carries blue and red . I have not seen purple there . That said , I prefer blue .

Blue is for larger fasteners (larger then most scope mount screws) - its a bit strong for tiny base mount screws, especially if you have to pull them back off. With 222 ,You can remove the fasteners without heat, or cranking on the small screwheads.

I've never seen purple in any store, you'll probably have to order it online.

That said, I always use blue on my guns.

McMaster Carr has it. Everytime I buy from them the big brown truck shows up the next day with the order.

Yeah , the shipping would probably cost me more then the tube of Loctite, lol. I forgot to put it in my Midway order - they carry it.

I used to buy it in the outdoor/gun section at Kmarts years ago. But we dont have those in my area (probably a good thing).

I'll probably have to check a few places in the Pittsburgh burbs this week.

If you mix red and blue you get purple

I use blue for that kind of stuff.

I would check an auto parts store. Advance Auto carries the Permatex brand. Purple is low strength for theirs also. Part #24024.

I checked my Local NAPA - Permatex, and Loctite are no longer the same company, so prob why no purple there.

I do have lots of Loctite blue, and some red (and a monster piping bag sized tube of Loctite orange from working on 911 motors)

Blue works just fine

Why purple? Purple is for for fasteners under 1/4" that require occasional adjustment and removalble with hand tools for easy disassembly. Is that what you want for a scope mount? Use blue. Blue is for general-purpose applications. Removable with hand tools for easy disassembly. Just stay the heck away from the green and brown.

Did you try the NAPA or maybe Hartestys there in the Grantsville plaza on your way to Somerset?

Grainger has it

But be careful. They have everything and are habit forming.
