648 dries (cures) in the absence of air - explains why overflow doesn't cure :
"LOCTITE® 648™ is designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration."
I've used 603 on .150 cable to propshaft assemblies 2 or three years past expiration date with no issues. Then one day it stopped working/holding after I tested a day-old assembled .150 using the expired 603. (I realize that .150 cables aren't called on for holding together forces that the .187 see.)
I only use (buy) .187 welded cables (but I have run into some that are poorly aligned). The ones I get from OSE have always been fine.
