The 'blue' grades of Loctite are designed to allow removal with hand tools, and 242/243 is superb for antennas and rotators. However, these grades may be too strong for use with very small screws. Maybe you could try one of the 'pink' grades of Loctite which are specifically designed for small instrument screws and clock repairs. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
