I'm quoting a job that has a stainless 8-32 set screw bonded into a

brass part cannot have any bonding agent on them. I'm thinking that
Loctite 268, a stick type threadlocker, might work except for the
small size of the screw. I don't know if the 268 can be applied
cleanly to such a small screw or even if it will get down into the
threads. Anybody know?

I've used it to lock what I remember to be 8-32 setscrews back when I
was an auto mechanic. I secured loose blower fans to the motor shafts.
I was using the red 271 threadlocker, the liquid form of 268, and I
never had a come-back after using it.
