I know there are numerous Loctite or thread lock products out there for different jobs, but I’m looking for a general product that I can use on most accessories without having to resort to different specifications, etc. The recommendations please.
Is there a standard thread lock that will do for most jobs?

Nice one, cheers
Where it’s needed I use JB Weld blue for things that need to come apart from time to time and JB Weld red for things that hopefully will never need to be undone for a very long time or that really really mustn’t ever come ever so slightly loose. JB Weld Red needs heating up to soften it before undoing. There’s even stronger stuff out there too.

Blue locktite here too
Loctite 243 as previously mentioned does most things.
Some manufacturers do specify stronger stuff for some fasteners though. Sprocket bolts for instance.
