Does Locktite work on plastic
I got a bathtub handle that keeps falling off. The cartridge is some
sort of plastic and a long 3" screw goes into it. But long or not, the plastic si stripped so the handle falls off all the time. I plan to replace the cartridge as soon as I can find out what the brand if this faucet is, and then locate one. It's got no markings on it, and then I will still have trouble finding the thing in this rural area. In the meantime, I am looking for something to keep the handle on. I put some of that heavy pink teflon tape on the screw and it helps a little but the screw still turns forever. I was wondering about locktite. Does it work on plastics? Of course, I do want to be able to remove the handle in the future too. Anyone ever tried this or have another idea? I dont want to use a larger screw because that may split it, and then I'm really screwed. Thanks Mark |
