Loctite certainly has its place. But I'm not sure I understand the
concept of loctiting the hell out of everything. Loctite is for
permanent installations. There are VERY few things in ham radio that are
permanent, and trying to get a loctited bolt out, or replacing one with
a new bolt in a hole that's had loctite in it is difficult at best.
There's gotta be a better way.
