Back in the 70s either before Loctite or when it was too expensive to
use. Some sort of industrial/building product. You put a blob on the
nuts after they were tightened. It kept them from loosening, or at
least showed strain marks when they did loosen. Came in a tube. I'm
drawing a blank on what it was actually called and who made it.
HELP!

pre cote 30
or 3m scotch grip
thread lockers were a little bit wild back then some were just like
thick paint, others rubber like coating and gave you strange torque issues
3-M weatherstripping sealer. I used it on critical bolts on air cooled VW engines. It wasn't perfect but it was about the best we had back then.

I would use Loctite 7400 ("Security Coating"), dedicated sealing wax
(rather some viscous acrylic paint) or plain nail varnish. Neither of them keeps screw connections from loosening (it's more an anti tamper
protection or indicates if something has come loose) and I guess the
"yellow stuff" did a pretty bad job there as well. Threadlocker needs to
go on the threads for a reason.
