An excellent compound for press fitting on certain parts of your bike
This is excellent for coding the two surfaces that need to be press fit together. In my case, it was a vintage American bottom bracket on a 1983 profile champ pro frame and I also used it on the headset when I pressed in an OG HATTA headset

Not disappointed!! Stuff is good..
I had doubts about using it. I Used it with primer as recommended. The stuff locks in quickly like glueing pvc piping . I used it on carbon cup and press fit head set because it was too loose. I though it would take time to set in but is was very fast. Luckily I planned carefully ahead of time.

Works great!
Used this to install a pf92 bottom bracket. Applied primer to the carbon shell and then the retaining compound. Creak free so far.

Works as advertised!
The product worked perfectly to quiet a bottom bracket which has plagued me for years. I tried a wheels manufacturing screw together (which still didn't work), but the retaining compound did its job. My press fit shell was also quite worn, and I could press in my bearings by hand. UPDATE: After about 2 days since the application all of the creaking returned to the BB. Seems like the product works, but there is some limit. Some issues might just require a new frame is the bottom bracket shell is worn enough.
