Loctite and Permatex both work well but yeah, make sure its blue, the red stuff will not come out easy if at all.
Who makes the gel?

if it's a new screw or nut Etc I use a spray on degreaser first then apply a small amount of the thread lock on to the thread and a small amount in to the nut etc then tighten them up, back it of about half way and then tighten them up again just to make sure both parts are coated then wipe off any excess that may be on anything.
What ever you do don't get any on bearings

Bevery careful when using it on your clutchbell. Getting it on the outside bearing means disaster. It's going to lock that bearing up and burn it up in no time. This is why I like the gel place it on the screw between the threads and thats where it stays. liquid likes to run and drip and cause problems.

Red on universal setscrews. blue everything else.
heat your axles with heatgun if removal of setscrews is needed, then red will break free like blue. every1 seems to ignore that step w/consequences.

Blue for everything except drivecup set screws - those get red as already mentioned. Using a quality wrench and heating red with a soldering gun will make thode come apart without trouble.
Grease and oil prevent loctite from setting up properly or at all. Both screw and nut or the threaded hole its going into need to be grease free - I use contact cleaner on everything, but any residue free solvent will work. Loctite also needs at least several hrs to setup and develop strength so it will do what its supposed to. Don't expect loctite to work 5min after applying it.
