Different colours of Loctite mean differnet strengths..

Think it goes

Yellow (weakest)
Blue (med)
Red (Strongest)

Only use the red one if you think you will never need to remove the set item, where as if its a new feed tube or elbow use the yellow one, since one day it might need replacing/upgrading

Hope that helps

I'm not sure what the 330 is. However, the scale above is correct except that the green loctite is stronger than red. The green is essentially an epoxy like formula that gives a permanent bond. I can't think of a PB application where green would be what I choose to use.

I generally use the blue (medium) for most paintball applications. It's usually strong enough and can be loosened without too much difficulty when you need to make changes. I know that with the red, you'll need to use heat in order to break the bond before turning the screw or bolt on which the loctite was used.

either one will work depending on where the threads are located. Of course in certain areas you need to be careful to not overheat and ruin some rubber or non-metalic part that is close to the loctited area. For threaded plugs (on my Impulse) that take Allen wrenches, I've had good luck using a soldering iron in the Allen wrench hole and heating until the bond is broken.
