The "soul" of hi-tech materials like G-10, H1, ZDP, Titanium, carbon fiber, etc is found in the performance. That appreciation of the "spirit" comes out in time, after use. It's saying, you can depend on me! I'm there for you no matter what! - Sal Glesser
I only use purple, the lightest strength. It's plenty strong to hold those tiny screws. I haven't had a screw come loose since i've been using it. I had to have an auto parts store order it for me since not many carry it in stock.
I'm a lefty & use the blue loc tite for my clip switches including my Tenacious and all is well :)
Love my Tenacious I must say. Never feel bad about using it, besides it loves being used !! :D

I use purple as well. If something comes loose I can always switch to the stronger Blue.
Tip: I had a Kershaw that had a lot of play and the pivot wouldn't budge. I heated the bolt with a soldering iron for 30 sec or so and that broke down the loctite and made it easy to remove.
+1 ^3. Blue is probably safe, especially because few people properly clean the threads before using thread lockers. :) Anything stronger than blue is likely to result in stripped heads. :eek: Clear nail polish would probably work fine, really.

I actually tried clear nail polish and it didn't seem to work. I also tried teflon tape with crappy results. I went with purple because i've already stripped screws that are tightened from the factory so i don't want anything that's so strong i strip a screw. I'd rather a screw come out and get lost than not being able to get a screw out at all.
