[QUOTE="PigSquealer, post: 629562, member: 8047"] Back to sax related stuff. I have no problem with the use of “Loctite”, but please use the correct grade ! I’ve had more than one occasion where 242 Blue was used. Heat and penetrating solvent was needed to extract the hardware. It shouldn’t take ten minutes to extract a single pivot screw 😤 [ATTACH type="full" size="1500x1500"]34800[/ATTACH] Then additional time to clean & remove the goo from countersink recess mechanically. [ATTACH type="full" size="1017x540"]34801[/ATTACH] The 242 Blue grade is for hardware 1/4” to 3/4”. The correct grade for 1/4” and smaller “adjusting screws” is the 222 Purple. Also I’ve been asked many times what the color is for the “Selmer S” ….the first posts on this blog. [ATTACH type="full" size="1500x844"]34799[/ATTACH] The 222 Purple is NOT commonly found in hardware or auto parts stores. Find a source or go to Amazombie. [ATTACH type="full" size="1500x1148"]34802[/ATTACH] Notice this is for… [LIST] [*]Prevents vibration loosening of small screws, fasteners. [*]Removable grade [*]For adjustment screws up to 1/4" [/LIST] Yes, this is what to use on Yamaha pivot screws when the nylon insert is beyond its useful limits. Don’t get screwed by using the wrong screw goo ! [/QUOTE]
