Title: Are your nuts vibrating?
Post by: Tex on October 21, 2010, 10:54:24 AM

I use this stuff for nuts & bolts that need adjustment from time to time.

A bit pricey, but it works. For a simpler solution, you can try finding nylon insert nuts & bolts.

Loc-Tite works great, is available just about everywhere and is not that pricey. They have version that lock the nuts/bolts and versions that are not permanent

It may not be permanent, but it takes a good hold on the wrench to loosen it! For things needing frequent adjustment (like my Zassenhaus)  I prefer Vibra-tite or nuts & bolts with nylon inserts.

Besides, ever reach for the LocTite Blue and get the Red by mistake? Blow torch time!

Loctite #222 works very well for that sort of thing without making it impossible to remove.
