Loctite

I think metho might be better but white spirit will evaporate.

Yeah but if it leaves an oil residue on the surface then it won't be the best when you're applying an adheasive to bind two surfaces.

I guess - think i might switch to metho or try the brake fluid -comes with a handy nozzle.

I dont bother to clean it off just put a dab more on top of it! If it has way to much on there I keep the bold on an allen key and burn it off with a micro gas flame.

what about where you thread it into?

I find lighter fluid is the best for cleaning bolts etc before loctiting. it breaks down oil a treat and will evaporate or wipes off bit a bit of tissue easily. second to that is brake and clutch cleaner as it does clean extremely well and evaps quickly..

ORB - hopefully that's a typo but brake fluid will not do the job... and you'll wish you hadn't!!!!

brake and clutch cleaner comes in an aerosol can, just spray and leave for a minute to dry.
