    Glueing bolts in...Liquid lock-washer?

    I have been building my Z-axis for the past few days (pics to come soon). But there is no way to add lock-washers on the tiny bolts (Metric - M3) that hold the THK rails on. I also don't want to use lock-washers on the back plate with the 1/4" wide bolts. So, what is the best "Liquid Washer" type stuff? That is, I wan't it to hold very good, but not be so permanent I could never remove the bolts. What do you use? TIA!


    I'll be so happy when this Z-axis is done!

    blue locktight

    or red if you can heat it up when you need to take it out.

    any hardware or automotive store will have some.

    Red is VERY hard to remove. You won't want to be heating your rails up. You'd end up breaking small bolts on removal.
