I have the Hussefelt ISIS cranks on my P rophet. The non-drive side keeps coming loose. I have tried to clean the threads and apply loc-tite blue but they still keep coming loose. Would it be advisable to use the permanent type loc-tite?
one more question....do I need to let the loc-tite dry on the bolts before I thread them in???

I would caution against using permanent thread lockers. In order to remove the bolts/nuts, you must apply heat over 500degF... aka fire. If it continues to come loose, make sure you're using the correct screws for your BB/Crank setup or you may need to put a washer or lock washer between the crank arm and screw.

Liquid thread lockers need to go in "wet" and must be allowed to cure before use. There are "dry" lip-stick type thread lockers out there with zero cure time.

yeah, thread lockers are good but not inthis application. i would go with a thin washer or lock washer..
