jhgtyre Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So where did this whole nail polish thing get started? Guys, you can buy Loctite at any auto parts or hardware store. Yeah but if they are already in the makeup aisle why make the extra trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Blue Loctite on my strain screw. That said, I use colored nail polish on the adjustment screws of any trigger I work on. I don't care if the customer changes my adjustment, I just want it to show if they've been monkeying around in there. I buy the most god-awful color I can find on the sale rack, right now it's lime green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that by using the nail polish it A) it takes less torque to break than Loctite (meaning less probability of destroying said screw), Loctite can adhere to screws to the point that you have to replace the screw and reapply the Loctite to the new screw; where as nail polish remover can clean the screw and the threads of the area where the screw goes. Now as for being in the makeup aisle, I'm married and its her fault; that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COF Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 That's old school gun smithing. When I was a kid, I remember talking to a couple of guys that used nail polish to hold screws in place on their guns. Of course, back then we still heated with wood stoves...
