Permatex Medium Strength Threadlocker Gel 10 g Twist Applicator Blue — Controlled Bead, Non-drip

Permatex 24010 is a medium-strength blue threadlocker gel in a 10 g twist applicator that secures, seals and prevents fasteners from loosening while allowing later disassembly with hand tools.

This twist-applicator gel delivers a controlled bead of medium-strength threadlocker designed for nuts and bolts from 1/4" to 1" (6–25 mm). The thick gel consistency reduces dripping and mess, so you can apply it accurately even in vertical or overhead positions. Once cured, the adhesive fills the voids between mating threads to lock, seal and protect against vibration-induced loosening and corrosion, yet remains removable when service is needed.

How does the gel applicator make application easier?

The twist-tip design places the product exactly where you need it without excess. The gel consistency stays put on vertical or overhead surfaces, eliminating drips and waste common with liquid formulas. This saves time and keeps work areas cleaner.

• Twist-cap provides precise bead control for targeted application
• Gel formula prevents runs and mess in tight spaces
• Suitable for vertical/overhead use without dripping

Which fasteners and jobs is this medium-strength threadlocker best for?

Permatex 24010 is formulated for general-purpose fastening where parts should remain serviceable. It works well on bolts and studs between 6 mm and 25 mm and is commonly used across automotive and light-industrial tasks where disassembly with hand tools is expected.

• Ideal for valve cover bolts, water pump bolts and oil pan bolts
• Use on drive shaft bolts, rocker arm nuts, carburetor studs
• Fits nut and bolt sizes from 1/4" to 1" (6–25 mm)

Will this threadlocker resist vibration and corrosion?

The product cures to form a tough adhesive layer that fills thread gaps, reducing micro-movement and helping prevent loosening from shock and vibration. It also creates a seal that limits moisture intrusion, offering protection against rust on threaded assemblies.

• Fills clearance between mating threads to reduce loosening
• Seals threads against moisture to help prevent corrosion
• Provides durable holding while still allowing later removal with tools

How do I remove or disassemble fasteners treated with this threadlocker?

Medium-strength blue threadlocker is designed to be removable using standard hand tools. Apply heat is not usually necessary for disassembly, though moderate torque or typical service procedures are generally sufficient to break the adhesive bond and allow removal for maintenance or repairs.

• Removable with common hand tools—no permanent locking required
• Does not require special solvents for routine removal in most cases
• Useful where future servicing or adjustments are anticipated

Who is this product for? Permatex 24010 is aimed at mechanics, maintenance technicians, DIY enthusiasts and anyone who regularly works on automotive, small engine or light industrial equipment and needs a reliable, reworkable thread securing solution. It’s especially useful when accurate placement, reduced mess and the ability to remove fasteners later are priorities—such as during engine work, equipment maintenance, or assembly tasks requiring periodic servicing.
