Since I cannot search. . .
I have one small question.
My fixie parts are coming in [finally!] and I am building up a suicide hub. Here comes the question, I heard your supposted to grease threads. With loctite your supposted to clean the threads. If I use loctite, do I have to not grease hub threads?
Thanks for any replys.

No. Loctite will act as a lubricant until it sets.

suicide hubs work just fine and last forever when done right.

The aerospace industry uses gallons of Loctite.
OP: Clean threads with solvent, apply Loctite, secure cog & lockring, Rotafix (or ride the bike up a steep hill), re-tighten lockring.

Suicide hubs are only dangerous if you ride brakeless because if it comes undone, then Sir Isacc Newton takes over the control of your bike if you are on a hill.
But if you have brakes, then you just stop and fix it.

I was thinking, I might have to JB it on because I have no clue if the lockring will have enough room to fit.
But the whole wheel was only 3$, so no loss there.
