Kroil to clean screw and screw hole?

[Naphtali]

After I clean a screw hole and screw with Kroil penetrating oil, will there be any problems using removable Lock-tite (spelling??) as fastening/holding agent for holding the screw within the hole?

I've done this many times and never noticed any issues. After I clean the hole I will follow with a clean patch to remove any residual liquid.

"Degrease" the hole with some acetone, enamel reducer, or something like it, then after that has flashed off, loc tite away

++ on 55fairlane's comment! I generally replace the Kroil with Ronsonol lighter fluid to hopefully dilute/replace most of it and then got the bright idea -- which works -- of using the long teeny tube on brake-cleaner aerosol, with the tip actually at bottom of hole as I press release. One "tip" and one necessity: WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES (necessity!) as it squirts right back; and, I put an old towel about everything that may be dripped upon -- this, being the "tip".

Degrease the hole and screw for max hold. A squirt of carb cleaner on the screw and into the hole will work but I generally use Acetone. I buy it by the gallon at Lowes to make penetrating oil

I generally use fingernail polish, rather than Locktite. Easier to remove a screw in the future if you need to.

Kroil is a vary light penetrating oil. Using it to clean and lubricate parts pieces is what its meant to do. we used it ilubricators for the ball slide post in dies at work. As to cleaning for Loctite application it will act as a release agent weakening the bond of the Loctite. I use nail polish or enamel paint more than locktite on small screws as its easier to get them loose when needed. Even blue locktite on #8 screws properly cleaned is pretty much permanent with out heat, and even then its sometimes iffy. Green or red lockitite is even harder to break loose.
