That's true of at least some grades of Loctite and it's something to watch. If for instance when using a very high strength Loctite you applied heaps to the bolt, put it in finger tight and then went for lunch the Loctite will at lest partially cure while you are eating your pie. Then, an hour later you come back and torque the bolt to 19 ft/lb the drag of the cured Loctite may well result in the bolt applying less than the appropriate amount of clamping pressure.
