Forget about washers or tread lock stuff. Properly done
the bolts/nuts should be installed to the correct torque
using a torquewrench.
A good idéa is to use ordinary flat washers out of very hard
steel under each nut.

Regarding my earlier lockwasher question. This is a 90' steel self supporting
twr.
At this juncture of my life there are times when I can barely walk let alone
climbing 90' every 3 yrs to ck bolts.
It seems to me that with the addition of lock or star washers this could be a
set it and forget it operation.
Even though this is a self supporting twr with not a lot of windloading I do
intend to affix a torsion bar at the top to prevent the twr from twisting and
torque.
