Yes a boring subject I know, but has anyone used this seller on ebay before?

Chemicals and solvents in dodgy looking bottles usually work well!

Threadlock isn't what you'd call best practice. Buy a torque wench instead and so long as you torque the bolts correctly you'll never have a need for these.

Aren't they complimentary (as the owner of a torque wrench)?

No as it acts as a lubricant until it sets (so you get a false torque), then when its set you get another false torque. I used it as a 'belts and braces' type thing in motocross but things kept vibrating loose, then some old school boys showed me the error of my ways. Never had anything come loose since.

I was going for the same belts and braces approach. Does antisieze act in the same way then (I assume so)?

I guess it does. I do use this on steel frames for things like aluminium water bottle bolts etc, just in case they corrode. though.
