Alright, so something I have learned in the industrial maintenance field and doing electronic repair.
For smaller screws like we find on a lot of our equipment, and that does not see massive vibration or need to be used under specific torques, but screws we just dont want backing out on their own...
Fingernail polish makes an amazing thread locker for fine thread screws. It holds nearly as well as locktite blue, but breaks a lot easier when it is time to remove said screw or bolt. One major plus, when you do break it free the polish turns to a fine powder and is easier to clean the residue off, than locktite is.
Also another major benefit, if you're anything like me and subscribe to the "Slightly annoyed wife... very fun life" motto.. you can really get under your spouses skin by stealing her nail polish.
