It's fine.
I've used the red and the blue one throughout the build with no issues.
It should be fine. If you want to get all fancy you can check what grade it is (if it's stated). Most threadlocks get compared (IIRC) to 3Ms
codes...
Personally I never trust the codes and do a trial run with a spare bolt and a non-nylock nut to see how strong it is....
I would just use the nylock's if there new they will never come loose, so far as I have ever seen.
i've used nylocks as well, suppose i'm just panicing to much
I've not used the 'stick' ones yet, but they have been developed so we can put them in our pockets without our nuts getting covered (acording to Loctite)
You could put a small dab of paint across the blot/nut (or cheap nail varnish as this has a brush as well). You can check to see if anything has
moved..

Yup I'd recommend doing that as well, especially if you don't routinely check your nuts....
