"hand tight" You must TQ it to stretch the bolt & produce the friction between the threads that the loctite uses to cure.....Yes it will not cure without the heat from friction.



technically, it has nothing to do with the heat and friction of tightening the bolt. Loctite is an anaerobic sealer. much like plain old superglue. you must remove any air for it to harden. a loose bolt doesen't do that. a tight bolt does. heat will soften the loctite after it's cured. how much heat depends on the grade of loctite used.





It ready to be used as soon as you torque the fastner. It doesn't have to dry.
