Bearing Lock is a pink viscous liquid similar to Stud/Thread lock,though often
stud can be green,thread more blueish.

We used to use just a smear of bearing lock in the housings to "fix" the bearings in place if they were a loose fit(depending on whose bearings you had bought).

At the engineering firm I used to work for,we used stud lock for studs,
thread lock for threads and,yes,you've guessed it,bearing lock for bearings
(especially in stainless steel/duplex/super duplex materials).

Some bearing/stud/thread lock isn't suitable for use on any type of plastics,some is.
I wondered what folks use to "fix" loose bearings into their housings you see.
