Loose pivot screw - Loc Tite or what?

[HJK]

I'm not a maker. That will shortly be quite obvious.
I have a folder whose pivot screw just won't stay tight. I think I need some kind of adhesive. Is Loc Tite 222 MS the best solution? Where is the best place to get a small quantity like 50ml, especially in Canada?
Thanks.

I use the blue loc-tite on all my pivots. Most hardware stores should carry it.

Before using the Loc-Tite, be sure and clean the threads on the screw and inside the pivot. You don't need a lot. Just lightly coat the threads.

If you use too much, the Loc-Tite will gum up the action. Been there, done that! ;^)
