Loctite 262

I'm replacing spokes on a Velomax wheel and the instructions are very clear on needing Loctite 262 thread locker on the hub side threads. I've tried Lowes, Home Depot, and one auto parts supply place and none of them have had it. They have 242 Blue and 271 Red, but not 262.

Any idea where I would have luck finding this? There are a few hardware stores to try nearby, but anything else? Is this particular formulation used for something specific that would point me to a supplier?

Now I know why Velomax/Easton wheels are such a pain to deal with. To be fair though, first Velomax then Easton have been very easy to deal with and very responsive. Every company should do business like them.
