You are very welcome. Note that neither the Loctite nor the "gel with roughage" solutions make it hard to remove the seatpost, only with Loctite you have to smear more on after you remove, because it dries out, while the gel seems not to dry out, at least, not as fast. So experiment and, if you don't like it, wipe clean.
