Yes. It will work just fine. In a pinch, fingernail polish also works pretty well

Blue Loctite is not a good choice. It doesn't wick well, so you have to preapply it to the threads, raising the possibility that it will set before you get the adjustment right. It's also super strong, so trying to readjust after it is set may cause damage. The previous suggestion of a drop of nail polish, applied after adjustment, is the way to go for a single application. For production usage, use low-strength easy wicking purple Loctite 222MS. My browser won't let me copy the link right now, go to loctite.com literature, maintenance solutions.

Blue loctite is made for exactly that kind of adjustment situation. It works great.

YES,, it will bond even if the bolt is not torqued up,, Loctite will only set when there no air present, i mean that as soon as air is taken away it will set.
of ccourse, it wont work to it full strength but it will set..
