They are completely differentt products, Red loctite is for threads while JB weld has a variety of uses. The red loctite is watery and sets up rather quickly with exposure to air and then hardens a bit more over time. JB weld is more like an epoxy, it can be applied thick and used like a glue. After mixing it gets gooey until it is unworkable in about 15-20 minutes.
I think he meant to say " sets up rather quickly when not exposed to air". Loctite thread locker hardens in the absence of air.
