I would also suggest looking at the stick versions of the Henkel threadlockers. They are often easier to apply than the liquid versions. On the pneumatic but also hydraulic/plumbing side their thread sealant 545 is a marvel.
I have used that in the past on plant hydraulics and 542, I agree with you.
I always found the liquid easier to use on small screws and the stick on bigger threads, but while upside down no contest! Lol.
