Mig weld them in if you’re unsure about the loctite. Use JB Weld down the sides of the PCB for extra support, making sure you drill holes down the sides of the frame so it has something extra to bite into.

oh gaad please don't use the green locktite!

I have to weld nuts to the heads of tiny socket head cap screws (about 50 of them) in order to remove them to do a certain annual service here at work.

the damn factory where the piece was built used green locktite on all of them, apparently not thinking that poly casters might wear out eventually.

maybe we should start riveting the PC boards in. LOL

What do they use at the factory?

 

[Handy Andy]

Maybelline?

Just add a little salt when you rinse out the insides of the radio and the rust will keep everything nice and tight.

that's a good question kaos. If anyone knows of the actual product name, please post it.

specifically i am talking about the greenish stuff that hardens like plastic and just shatters away like glass when you pick at it.

maybe there is an industrial nail polish? LOL

I too would like such a thing, like what they use at the factory.

You might be able to just heat up the screw with a soldering gun to melt the loctite. I have worked on German equipment where the 50hp motor has the pulley loctite ed on from the factory. Takes about 20 min with a propane torch to unglue it.

I need to pick another occupation instead of design+manufacturing
I am full of useless information

I like that idea!
I'm going to bring it up to the guys that do that maintenance now. thanks.
(they'll probably tell me they've tried it LOL)


Martian, you just successfully converted one piece of useless info into a useful one.
Only those of us who are full of useless information possess such a skill.

thanks for that.

So is that what they use at the factory? Is that what that crap is on the screws and bolts inside a radio?

Stick around (SIC)

We might be able to build a CB radio using ordinary household items...
