Loctite helps on loose metal antenna screws and nuts threads after you

on plastic!,it will melt the hell out of some plastics.I know this from
personal experience when I sloshed some Loctite on the screws of the
tail light lenses metal screws to a 1974 Ford/Mazda pickup truck I used
to own.The next morning,the plastic tail light lenses were lying in the
dirt.

That's funny. You made me laugh out loud.

I bought about 10 pounds of miscellaneous hardware at a surplus sale
about 15 years ago and that cut my trips to the screw drawers at Sand
Canyon Hardware to almost none. Lots of little lockwashers. Split
