Test of loctite and weiconlock activation

The cozycarb is supposed to be press-fitted to the Bing carburettors. To improve the bond and seal, Weiconlock AN302-62 is supplied. But since the parts involved are all aluminium, will this glue activate? The manufacturer of the Cozycarb cannot say for sure, but they state that no other customers have had issues to their knowledge. So I thought I would test this glue, along with Loctite 277 and 243 both without and with 7471 primer/activator.

Initial indications are that all these product do activate in the presence of pure aluminium, both with and without primer.

Previously I had problems with AN fittings, but these are heavily anodized.
