Overview
Bob LaRosa gives us a demonstration on stripped thread repair using Form A Thread from Loctite.
When an expensive component has a stripped thread there is no need to run out and get a new one. Loctite has a great product to make the repair and keep that component in service.
Expensive or not, why replace when you can repair?

Hi Peter. We always suggest, at least, giving it a try. In most cases, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn’t work out, you will have the leftover product available for another time.
