I have occasionally seen bolts with a dot of thread lock on them. Any idea
what kind of thread lock this is? I need it on a flashlight end cap and
cannot have the normal liquid type as it would destroy the electrical
connection. Thanks.

MD:

Under less than extreme circumstances, Teflon pipe tape will do. That is
what I have
used in exactly the same application.

But Teflon does not conduct electricity so the flashlight will not work.
