Re: pic: The LocTite Monster
If you find you need to LocTite screws or bolts into plastics or there's a chance the LocTite can come into contact with plastics (remember it doesn't take much to react with certain plastics) it's best to wrap teflon tape on the threads. You don't need a lot either, one wrap will do. This will prevent the fastners from vibrating loose and still allow them to be removed if neccesary. If you have access to the back side of the screw or bolt you could use a nut with a nylon insert.
