Generally speaking the normal everyday Loctite is activated to set in the absence of air/oxygen, ie: Anairobic
So it is designed to apply to the thread first, and then tighten the nut/stud/bolt, thus closing off from air contact.
Theoretically, any Loctite left on the open to air surfaces will not set.
The new one that has been mentioned in another post is obviously designed to work differently.
I haven't come across it before, but it sounds good.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
