Try "threadlock" from Radio Shack, or Loctite 242 from your local hardware store. You stand at least SOME chance of loosening the mounting screw if you ever need to. Note that "Loctite" comes in several strengths: soft, medium, and strong. The 242 is "medium", which means that you can break it loose with a quick strong twist. If you accidently use the strong stuff, you will have to drill the screw out! I find that one can get sufficient holding power by just putting a drop on the exposed screw end, over the nut. No need to disassemble the mounting. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@shasta.stanford.edu)
