Moe, I would shudder to think of locktite of any variety being used on the KXPD1 thumbscrew - you just might want to remove it someday. Removable is just not that much "removable" - it works for things that need wrenches to remove, but the thumbscrew is a small diameter. Newer KXPD1s come with an internal toothed lockwasher that can be optionally used instead of the normal flat lockwasher, so you might want to give that a try instead - use a #6 lockwasher, and beef it down with your strongest fingers, it should hold.
