I know we're supposed to use super glue/loctite/fingernail polish to secure the little grub screws, but can someone describe the exact way? I'd think you'd want to put the glue on the bottom threads, but they're kind of hard to get to. Am I missing something?

Hi Ya Danny!
Loctite has a penetrating thread locker that you can use from the top.....spairingly, but I usually set the screws where I want them, then back each one up 2 turns and put a small dab of LOW GRADE loctite on the exposed threads and run 'em back in two turns. Takes a while but does the job right.

I'd say nail varnish drying time is too fast to apply to the whole threaded area. I've heard of people using on threads but i'd guess it's applied after setup and under the saddle with a detailed brush.. cheaper than loctite though.

another great way to keep em from moving is Murray's Pomade. I used that on my MIJ Jazzmaster.

I'd prefer loctite as that IS it's intended purpose and if you bought something else for a specific one time use it would be a waste whereas the loctite can come in handy at a later date for other projects IMHO.

I will agree, that's the best way to go!
