[Closed] Using blue threadlock to install a Hope Ceramic BB?

I am 99% convinced that a combination of plastic spacers, loads of copper slip and a fairly small amount of thread on BB caused my BB to loosen and creak. I know I did it up tight, yet it could loosen by hand a few months later. If you pop on 5mm drive side of spacers on BB - not a huge amount of thread remains.

So I have just slapped on that blue lipstick threadlocker, that is temporary. I have got about 2 days before it "sets". In your opinion have I just done a duff thing - or is my memory correct and shimano have a little strip of something similar?
