Shucks, I don't even use thread lock. I just crank real hard on the bolt installing, similar to the way I had to crank real hard to get it off. I figure that's tight enough. Never had one come loose without my wanting it to.

But then, I started doing that out of necessity and have no actual knowledge of what I "should" do. Thread lock makes sense to me.
