Two different topics mentioned. Soldering of the collet end helps keep the strands from deforming and maintains a more uniform bundle. If you can do this properly it's advisable for any type of collet. Loctite can replace soldering flex cable to a ferrule typically at the prop end of the shaft if the fit is good. Loctite will work very good if you have a snug fit between the shaft and ferrule and all the parts are clean. Soldering will fill a larger gap and also works better if you have a small insertion depth. Loctite will not help on the collet end unless you plan on not removing the shaft. Even coating the free end with loctite and allowing it to cure in air before inserting it will not make much difference. Hope that helps.
