When a customer / drawing  requires threadlock "loctite" on hardware 
at the pcb level, what step in the manufacturing processes does it 
get applied ?

If prior to wave solder, what steps are taken to ensure it does not 
break down ? example "loctite 242" breaks down at 300F.

Do you have a problem with small hardware becoming loose during the 
assembly processes?

What material "threadlock" do you use in your facility?

Where is it installed ?

Do you re-apply after wavesolder / clean?

If you re-apply, do you completely clean off old material ?


Thanks for any feedback in advance;
