Holding strength is the same, but it cannot drip or be spilled (which is the main reason why we switched, as our students used to go through tubes of the liquid Loctite like there was no tomorrow). It's also a lot easier and faster to work with, and trying to apply it to tight spots wasn't a problem for us because we always apply Loctite to every bolt (only exception is for bolts with nylocks) before we do any final assembly.
