Yes, I had some that was branded Loctite, can't remember the number off it now though, it could have been 420 or 406, it was really good stuff, had the consistency of IPA, and it really did wick it's way into even the tiniest of cracks! Sadly, I lost it in a house move, where it was so good at wicking, it wicked it's way out of the closed bottle, and all over the inside of the box it was in! Really must get some more..
