Loctite

[Kenneth Blackwell]

FOR ALL OF US........what to do to prevent this type problem: One glue the
T-Nut to the firewall with CA, Chase the threads with a tap, then use BLUE
Loctite (NOT RED). I seldom use RED Loctite on any model airplane
part....especially if I ever want to disassemble it.

This won't help Jeff with the immediate problem but maybe it will help
someone avoid the problem in the future.

Cheers,

Ken Blackwell
