## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this on metal set screws going into a plastic housing??**
A: No, this is for metal-to-metal applications. Loctite 425 is recommended for plastic-to-plastic and plastic-to-metal applications.

**Q: Is this product ideal for locking my camera strap screw in place?**
A: Yes, I'm using blue Loctite for a BlackRapid strap in a DSLR tripod screw hole. I've also used it for securing Arca-Swiss tripod plates to camera bodies.

**Q: Is this good for Conceal Carry holster screws?**
A: To tell you the truth, I don't have any issues with my Conceal Carry holster screws coming loose. But if I did, Loctite 242 is the first place I would go because the idea of losing all of the screws in my Conceal Carry holster is unconscionable.

**Q: Does it interfere when using a torque wench?**
A: I always heat up the hardware with a heat gun. This softens the bonding, reducing strain of removals.
