Personally I have never used any type of loctite on  my spinner bolt, and it has never been a problem.  My prop is also a  left-turning one.  If you feel that you must use loctite, then use the blue  rather than the red.  Once it's set up the red can be loosened only by  heating it, and I don't think you want to put a torch to your  spinner.

I am pretty sure UHS  calls for blue locktite  on the spinnersi have installed.

 Don't have the sheet in front of me  though.

  

 They do make a class spinner  and are locally  near me . 

  

 That being said , I have not used loctite on some  other spinners and never had  an issue.

If this is the spinner that has a single bolt on the front, I would say yes indeedy you need locktite on the bolt.  I have that type on the IVO prop that I just put on and the instructions say locktite and torque to 35inch pounds, right, no way, I went to 100 inch and used red locktite.  Oh and if you haven't had a spinner come off, wait until one does come off, I personally have had this happen, thought it was a bird and until I landed and found the spinner gone and two blades wiped.  Locktite and torque and check regularly.  After all anything that is bolted on the airplane needs to be installed as best as can be.  After all you are up in air not on the ground traveling along.
