GT Triple Triangle? Part. 2

[RobAR]

Bill. From what I have read of your new adventure and the point that I assume you are at - the biggest thing right now is to ensure that the heads of the spokes are fully bedded at the hub. I use a brass punch and a 4 ounce hammer. Tap lightly.
I learned 18 years ago that the Spoke Squeezing was more for the benefit of the crosses and nipple interface at the rim. If the spoke head, at the bend, isn't fully seated in the hub flange, you will just wind up creating more work for yourself as the wheel comes to higher tension and they seat themselves. See?

To expound a bit on the good advice given by nfmisso - SpokePrep (WheelSmith) and Thread Locker (LocTite) are two entirely different products and are intended for different purposes.
The red stuff in a little $30 bottle from LocTite needs to have a medium (oil - I recommend Tri Flow) to follow down into the nipple thread after the wheel is brought to true. Thus the oiling of threads prior to the build. Thread Locker is then used at the end of the build to keep the bond at that point. Just a tiny drop at each nipple... you will see it sucked in by capillary action. Spin the wheel for a couple of minutes afterwards to get all of it in there by centrifugual force.

SpokePrep comes in Blue and Orange in a kit and is what it is called. The different colors are an aid to lacing wheels (rear) where diff spoke lengths are required.
Did you ever see a bolt with a blue LocTite dried on its threads? Same principle. It 'sets' after the build but lubricates during the build. I wouldn't be caught without the stuff!
