I used loctite once. I never did it again. It provides insufficient working time and locks the spoke so you end up adjusting the others to match. My wheels improved once I started lubricating my threads. I usually have to re-tighten a couple of times during break-in.
Upon reflection: new rim with new spokes works well and stay put. I often use old rims. They usually need a couple of readjusts.
