I would like to be able to tell by colour if a screw has turned -

that exist?

Low-strength/removeable...

Maybe a kind of varnish?

Fingernail polish works nicely as both a thread locker that will
allow
the screw to be removed easily without extra effort, and it will
show
if the screw has been removed or moved.

Works better than "locktite" for gun applications. And you can
get
it
cheap from the missus or the discount store.


Have a good story ready for why you need it. I've found it in all
the
electrical coding colors, some of which would be really weird on
fingernails.


Yeah, ROYGBIV works, but BBROYGBVGW would be weird on lady's
fingernails. (Right, Violet?)


Ooh, windy rain is now pouring down here. Possible thunderstorm
tonight. Get ready, all you downwinders. Judging by the national
weather radar on www.wunderground.com , you may already have your
antenna down.


My bottle of Grey nail polish broke when I tried to open it to mark
the Maytag timer, and finding a nonmetallic replacement was difficult.

Weather radar showed the intense squall line that passed through NY
and CT breaking up before hitting us. I didn't hear a single thunder
boom.
