I use the stuff in the blue container. I don't have to heat it up to remove.

You can tell us guys that take ours apart more often 
Or perhaps the guys that realise how effective blue Loctite is... Most auto manufacturers have used blue to retain the caliper mounting bolts since the 70's if they figure it's good enough for everyone's brakes with the liabilities involved then it's probably more than adequate for torque converter bolts...

Blue is a good for most any thing,,271 red is if it absolutly, posativly, has to keep from coming apart, either will work but 271 is stronger. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

The bolts torque/stretch is really supposed to do the work of holding the components together, if you're relying on the Loctite to hold it together you gotta wonder why....I use loctite as a measure of insurance so blue should be sufficient on most bolts, I've seen more dampenerer bolts come loose than flywheel bolts but I'd sure never put red loctite on one....
I don't think I've ever seen blue come loose on a NEW bolt that had been PROPERLY cleaned, prepared and torqued to the right spec. Reused bolts are another matter that's why I don't reuse bolts in critical areas.

I use the red but I have forgotten to use anything BUT I use my impact to tighten them.... I have had 1 bolt come loose over the years(before I started using the impact on them)

If you absolutely, positively dont ever want it to come apart, there is a green loctite that will not let it come apart without a maximum amount of effort.
That is stud and bearing mount, not really intended for nut's and bolt's.

I bet WILD BILL uses BLUE  
Some times blue 242, some times red 271 or 277, some times green 290 609, some times purple 222.
