grub screws (bridge) question - can i stiffen them up

[tedmanzie]

i've just replaced all the grub screws on my bridge - string height adjusters.

i deliberately bought shorter screws so they would sit a little shy of the top, as i like to rest my palm there.

they are the correct size but i wondered if i could put anything on the thread to stiffen them a bit? i like the idea of them being a little more firm than they are.

light duty threadlock compound

Locktite or a bit of ptfe tape will do it

i drop a bit of superglue on them as i had one that kept vibrating free. Drop of superglue, even pound shop stuff, should work

Warm candle wax, just a little bit on the thread. Works well with iron dust cores and suchlike. Makes them feel firmer to turn but wont go hard. Or a mate of mine used to use araldite resin for the same thing, just the resin mind, no hardener. but its probably too messy for what you want to do.

Clear nail varnish.

I think you use Viagra for that...
