Blue Locktite 242 vs 243 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Amazing the discussions I find myself in now.

Previously, I would have lengthy discussions regarding the medical need for another MRI within a market. Today, I'm discussing the difference between 242 and 243 blue locktite.


For those that didn't know (and that included me), there are different versions of blue locktite.

242 - Medium Strength
243 - Medium Strength, and resistant to oils. (So, oil pans and such).

Since I can find 243 in a 250ml bottle on ebay for $60, I have gone that route and will use it for all BLUE needs.

Happy Thursday.

Like one of our seasoned sales reps used to say in my previous business...

no, the lil buggers use the red 272 that will fall out when we are not looking, but still be impossible to break loose when we need to take something off. . .
