I've been asked about the lock-tite on the slider handle.  I only use it to
keep the small set screw in place.  I've used the blue meduim strength with
great results.  I'm afraid that anything any more secure would make it
imposible to remove the retainer screw to service the lock.  Also, the screw
should not be really tightened down.  Turn it until it just touches the
plug, then back out about a quarter turn.  No other hardware in the handle
should receive any thread lock material.  Please....don't try to substitute
super glue for thread lock.  Yes, I've seen it happen and had to drill out
the screw and replace it with a roll pin.
