Hey…..quick one for you guys.
Got some, rather expensive, bathroom accessories……TP holder, towel ring, etc.
The set screws seem to be working themselves loose rather quickly. Teflon tape hold em a bit longer?

Locktite. Gonna be tough to wrap that itsy-bitsy setscrew with T-tape. Maybe put a small ding in one of the middle threads to hold it in place?
Good luck
Locktite...Great! Thanks Nick....figgered there was a product out there for the problem.

Yep, Locktite. Note that there are about 4 different types, from "adjustable" to "bring a persuader" to "yeah, right" in terms of ease of turning after the stuff has set. You want something that permits removability without being too "easy".
Also note that sometimes the real problem is the stamped sheet metal bracket you're attaching too. Often they bend real easily, and other times the setup is such that tightening the set screw "pulls" the bracket away from the wall, and if there's any flex then it will work loose. It may be necessary, in some cases, to epoxy them in place (kinda plays heck with removability, though).
Thanks Dan.....got the Teflon on there now...ifit doesn`t hold, I`ll be trying the Locktite.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Get some clear nail varnish like the ladies use. Works just the same and WAY cheaper
Everything, 100% of it, depends on how you look at it.
