Love the trolls or butt stupid guys giving advice.

If you dont have real threadlocker...use fingernail poilish. Its
brittle, but it does work. Works great on gun screws/scope mount
screws. Will hold under heavy recoil, but will break free before you
screw the head of the bolt/screw up when removing it.
