[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 504313, member: 25383"] Most people will tell you to use 242 (color blue) for base screws, but Loctite will tell you not to! They will tell you to use 222 (color purple). Above all never use the red stuff!! Also buy the small bottle of Loctite Primer, and put it in the female as well as on the male threads. Let it set for about five or ten minutes. Then put a drop of threadlocker on each screw (rub the threadlocker all the way around the thread, but do not use very much). 242 is actually ment for screws that are 6mm and larger. gary [/QUOTE]
