EM studs: with or w/o Loctite?

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Louis, I generally use some blue loctite on the threads headside, red it too much and may result in broken studs in the head, but has worked well for me in the past from keeping the studs from rattling out of the head.  With the right nuts you shouldn't have any problems on the other side.

HTH,
Javad
