Am I the only one who thought torque seal was just fancy fingernail polish
A lead at our hangar in Bakersfield handed me a tube of torque seal 6 months ago and I honestly rolled my eyes, figured it was just some cosmetic thing to look busy with. Then we had a flap actuator bolt back off about 3 threads on a King Air, and I went back through the last inspection sheet to see who signed it. Sure enough, the mark was broken clean across the nut and nobody had caught it on the walk-around. Now I smear that stuff on everything I touch, and it's caught two more loose fasteners since then. What got you to start using witness marks, or did you have a close call like mine first?
