Chris,

You prol'ly know this, but Loctite comes in different grades of Locking
Tight. There is one grade to lock a screw so it won't back out, but it's
strength is designed to allow the lock to be broken with a good hard
turn with a handheld screwdriver. It's a lot like the old Brylcream
advertisement's use to say - "A little dab'l do ya".
