The Loctite line of thread adhesives hasn't been talked about much here so I thought I would bring it up. I use it regularly on nuts and bolts in hazardous locations, but how about a couple of drops on a new cable before you crimp on a new ferrule? What do you boys think?

I wouldn't. The nicopress sleeves are designed to hold the full rated strength of the cable. Adding anything else could conceivably reduce the strength.

Dwight, The Loctite line of threadlockers are anerobic (sp?) adhesives, meaning they only work in the absence of oxygen. While you might be able to get a small area inside the sleeve to seal well enough to get the Loctite to cure, by and large the effort would be wasted. Nicopress swaging sleeves and stops have worked for over 50 years as they are designed to do. They can be a big enough of a PITA to put on dry, I can't imagine what kind of mess they'd be with a liquid added to the process. MHO

Putting locktite into a press fitting is a VERY BAD idea. At those pressures and stresses the locktite is more likely to act a a lubricant than a glue.
