Ahah, but what does that mean in practice?

Do I apply it just over the lock nuts, which will be under high torque, creating a seal externally only? Or do I apply it before assembling them by smearing it all over the surfaces and the bolts?

If these questions seem simplistic, bear in mind I have no experience of automotive applications or products and no sense of its viscosity or how it actually works.!

Will it matter that it won't be coming under high temperatures? Will it still cure ok?
