Loctite

[Michael Ramsey]

Use thin CA to glue the blind nut back into place. Be care full!

Use a soldering iron (the long skinny kind) to heat the blind nut, then try
to work the bolt with the driver. The heat will loosen the loctite and
expand the blind nut. The CA should hold while you do this. If not, add more
glue.
