Suicide hub loctite application suggestions

Yes, a wordy title.

First, please don't flame me about the risks of a suicide hub. I fully understand the inherent risks but I really don't have enough money to buy a new wheel right now.

After riding a few months without applying any loctite (only a BB lockring), I decided to buy some loctite. Essentially, when I went to remove the cog, it wouldn't budge by any means so I did the best I could do and applied some loctite to the BB lockring threads. I was out riding today and -- slip -- the cog slipped on the backpedal. I'm using the red loctite. Did I not apply enough to the lockring or do I need to somehow remove the cog to apply loctite to its threads in order for this suicidal method to work? Thanks in advance.
