Patrick, the blue loctite hardens (and turns red) - it changes composition. The green loctite is made for cylindrical friction fit. I first bought it because I had a problem with an antique-style Malcolm rifle scope slipping in its mounts on a peppery little rolling block carbine. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/estes/1871/brb07.jpg I later used it on my Moser to solve the squatting seatpost problem. But back to the difference - the green loctite doesn't harden to solid and remains liquid - it accomplishes both what you want grease to do and resolves the slipping problem.
