I’ve been using something different than lock tite. It goes on pre assembly allowed to dry then assembled. It stays on the threads through many disassembly and reassembly cycles. It allows you to adjust the tension on the screws without loosing the locking ability. Vibra-tite vc3

Makael, I really appreciate your input and the contribution you make to bladeforums. Loctite! I've never used it before but I don't know how that flew over my head, I'll have to pick some up and try it. What strength do you suggest? At least we get to weed out the trolls with relative ease.

blue, the removable kind. If you use red... there are plenty of threads on spyderco's use of red loctite and the woes from that. There were a lot of stripped pivot screw heads.

That's weird, the name of that stuff only shows up when I quote your post...

Where do you get it? I have never heard of it...
 
I bought it from Amazon it’s good stuff. I think you read my post before my final edit.

Im sitting in Sacred Heart hospital. I have a family member waiting to pass on. Ive been here for 8 days. I suppose my mental status is on a short fuse. Ill just reel back a bit. I truly enjoy the forums. I probably overeact at times. Wallace posted a legitimate issue, i got bent over someone saying to throw their Buck in the trash and buy a benchmade. Totaly hit me wrong, then another member tell me im the ring leader out of nowhere. Anyway. Ill take a step back.

I fully understand the stress your going through having spent months in hospitals while my wife recoverd from brain surgery. Browsing around on this board helped kill time in a good way and kept my mind from wandering into dark places but that was a different situation and we all deal with :poop: in different ways so take some time off if you must but stop back with us when the storm on the homefront clears. BTW I had one of those bad days so I got into it with another member and got a stern warning and a pefectly good thread locked :oops: but here I am. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I’ll be checking that stuff out. I have used fabric mender or liquid stitch and it works in similar fashion when I wanted to have adjustable settings. It can be messy and limited service if adjusted often but if only adjusted initially and then no more adjustments then it holds indefinitely.
 
Mike, you have to take care of your family and your own mental well being above everything else. I hope to see you around here again. Stay strong my friend and know that you have our support no matter what happens.

Makael, thoughts and prayers for your grandmother. Strength and peace to you and your family. Hang in there and we'll see you soon.
 
Yes,I used to do the same thing at one time I let other people bait me until lost my cool,I don't play that game with trolls anymore,There are people of some of these forums that make it their main goal,to stir the pot and piss people off.Ive been here longer than most of you and have seen this a few times here,Don't let them achieve their goal of ticking you off and making you leave,that's just what that guy would love to see.
 
Sorry mike, but think of all the good times you had with her. You were lucky. I know it must be tough.
 
Think of all the Years you had with her, the good and the bad. In the long run, they all turn out to be good. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers...

I'm fairly new to this forum and I must say that Makael has been one of the brighter stars on this forum.

I've seen this before in another forum, the AFCA, a fan collectors forum. A few bad apples driving out the good. Makael, please reconsider. Don't let those few people ruin it for you. You are appreciated.

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Buck up, life is finite but memories are forever.

Lets forget about the past.
And lets take an oath that when reading a thread and some dill wad throws a negative or insensitive comment we totally ignore it for what it is. Should get the poster who is trying to upset us to get himself upset.. lol
And Bruce there’s a Fan Collectors Forum? Did i read that right?
