I may be wrong (it has been quite a few years.... :( ), but I think the
green locktite is what you use if you never plan on taking it apart

A friend of mine worked in a machine shop a few years ago, and a kid
has used green locktite on the bolts on a motorcycle he had.  They had
to cut the nuts off to get it back apart.
