hulkster:

well what loctite sounds good and all...but what happens if my joystick thing screws up for some reason.  what then?

froggerman:

Loctite does not harden like glue. It just stops the screws from vibrating out. It is use on cars and machinery all of the time.

hulkster:

okay so if i use this locktite stuff, then i could remove it, if i HAD to?

froggerman:

It goes on the threads so you don't actually remove it, just loosen the screw. You can try it without it, you can always add it later. You will find Loctite in many stores but for sure at places like Pep-Boys, Auto-Zone...etc.

DrewKaree:

They also make different strengths of Loctite.  The grades are different colors.  I haven't needed to use it in a long time, so I'm guessing here, but I think the RED stuff is good while allowing you to break the grip if necessary without too much stressing.  Check the packages.  Home Depot has it in the paint section, of all odd places, and I know they had four different strengths.

DO NOT get the superduperdeathgrip flavor unless you never ever intend to undo that screw.  It's almost like superglue!  Red or blue is what I've used around the house, other colors I've used at work.
