Thanks @Simba and @Skülly. I used cheep chain oil that was in the shed.
I thought the blue Loctites required a clean thread but I note the data sheet for 243 states it withstands minor oil contamination. I'm not sure if dipping the threads in oil before use is minor contamination.
Would Loctite 243 be a good one to use and can it be used on assembled threads or do I need to relace the wheel? I wonder if it's breaking torque is a bit high.
I'm definitely using linseed oil next time.

@Skülly
btw there is a thread lock that works even in the presence of a little oil. It's the medium kind, usually blue...
