Permatex 81668 and LOCTITE 28654 Stripped Thread Repair Kit

Update:

I ordered Permatex 81668, a retread thread compound, online, since I have a hard time finding it in local stores. Also, I found another retread thread compound LOCTITE 28654 Stripped Thread Repair Kit, that does the same thing as well. Are there any other related retread thread repair kit that are similar to the ones like Permatex 81668 and LOCTITE 28654 Stripped Thread Repair Kit that are found in stores instead of ordering online?

I saw this youtube demonstration and from the looks of it, it appears to be a very good setup, less fussing,etc.

Check it for yourself and let me know what you guys think. The repair retread thread goes on the bolt and not the hole as demonstrated in the video. If that works, great.
Does this stuff really works to keep the valve cover bolts that goes inside the top cylinder head thread from stripping?

I am still waiting for the 3/8 socket torque wrench to show up so I can torque correctly on the bolts goes on the valve cover. This is why I have not been responding back lately, Stay tune.
