Thanks, I knew that someone would know which was which. I was too darn lazy to go rummaging through the garage trying to find my tube of Loctite to see which was which. ;-)
After having the bolts that hold my cleats to my shoes work loose a couple of times I finally applied red Loctite......and now they are staying put!

Blue = low strength, use where you might want to someday loosen the
hardware.
Red = high strength, use where you rarely intent to remove the hardware
(ie studs). Typically requires heat to remove.
Green = intended as a bearing and sleeve locking agent. If used on
threaded hardware you can expect the fastener to fail before the locking
agent.
