I have used several different brands of bolts over the years and each
manufacturer usually has it's own specs for a specific lubricant that they
recommend. The instuctions usually close with "use anything else at your own
risk or experiences". Never saw one mention any form of locking fluid in
place of a lubricant but I'm sure it can be done.
