Degrease and torque to spec, never the need for loc-tite on the rings. If I were, it would be purple. Also, let it dry before application.
Loctite cures anaerobically, only in the absence of air.
I said to let it dry, not to let it cure. That is different scenarios. The surface of the Loc-Tite will dry and make better application once installed when done correctly. This is why so many manufactures pre-apply loc-tite on their products before sending them out.
No. The pre-applied lock patches are a completely different product than liquid Loctite you and I can buy in a bottle. It's not the same thing and they don't work the same way. Even Loctite/Henkel doesn't say to let their liquid threadlockers "dry" before installing.
