Troy, wrap your threads with Teflon Tape, then paste Teflon Thread
Sealant on top of the tape. Install good and tight and you should have
no leaks. Eliminate the LocTite. This may be a detriment to your
objective. I'm sure LocTite is not intended to be used with Teflon
Sealant.
I have used the tape and sealant method in high pressure, high
vibration areas (Oil & Gas Industry) for 30 years and have never
experienced one of these backing out (though I've seen them break!)
Nor, for that matter, have I ever heard of using Lock Tite in the
manner you suggest.

Gracias,
Miguel
