A thread-locking method and tape includes providing a sheet of flexible backing material having disposed thereon a filler material containing adhesive microcapsules. The thread-locking tape is wrapped around a male threaded fastener with the filler material pressed into the threads, and then the male threaded fastener into a female threaded fastener so that the adhesive bursts from the microcapsules and is distributed into contact with the threads on both the male and female fasteners. The backing material is either removable by peeling from the filler material before threading of the male threaded fastener into the female threaded fastener, or the backing material remains in place and is shredded by the threads of the threaded female fastener so that the adhesive is released into contact with the threads of both the male threaded fastener and the female threaded fastener.
