Just got tired of losing fine thread nuts vibrating off and hunting down new ones no matter how tight even using lock washer? Put a piece of shrink tubing on end of bolt after puting nut on..it may loosen but wont fall off..thought I'd share tip i thought of yesterday :thumbsup: funny title eh..:biggrin:
stop nuts from falling off due to vibration
i used GE poly caulk.
dont use silicon
its strong enough to hold lug nuts on my old srt4 lol. wheels kept coming loose, this stopped it.
nut will come off easy with socket but vibration wont bothe it, ull have to reapply when u put back on.
this was first thing i did when i got my colman out the box

Glue????? Caulk???????? Really guys? That's a band aide on a knife wound...
This is what Loctite is made for. Use Blue and never ever have a nut vibrate loose again.... Use Red if you aren't going to take it apart again. You have to use heat to break Red Loctite. If you are securing really small stuff use Green Loctite.
Lock nuts would be a good alternative as well. Just don't reuse them...

Yes Sir,, and you can get all metal ones too in several different styles and heights. Google "2 way locknut". "Flex loc " "Stover gr.b"
I once sold a customer a 7/8-14 Hex pin loc nut that goes on but will never come off without cutting it off ! Lol
I personally like the "nte" style which is 1/2 height like a jam nut. I keep several sizes and pitches in my workshop.
