the only time i can think of that someone might resort to loctite on a bb
is with an italian threaded bb
which would have a right handed thread on the drive side cup
but even italian bbs will stay in place if properly torqued
External bottom brackets benefit from a little blue loctite to keep the threads clean and creak free, a little teflon tape can also be used which is less sticky.

You have a funny idea of the meaning of "worked."

Anyway, that's a great outcome (for this forum) and a feel-good story.
