I've had the best luck just letting it dry on the hubs, versus getting it on the nuts and letting those dry.....

Integy, as bad as they are, and I do not even recommend their nuts, is bad. I've had Integy 17mm's that were knurled and O-ringed strip out Kyosho and Hot Bodies hubs, even properly applied. They galled the aluminum, removed the anno, and stripped out the hubs. Your best bet is to let the loctite dry first, and then put the nut on. It's the best way I've found, but you have to re-apply with most hubs as they are fine thread. I usually just put a drop on the day(or month) before I run, and tighten the wheel nuts up. MAKE SURE they're properly threaded on, and give the loctite a chance to dry. It works, trust me.

If you have the funds, talk to King Headz. They make 23MM, and can make you what you want. Reverse knurled nuts for the left side, if they don't already.
