I may risk sounding really stupid, but I dopn't know what you mean by
the threads of the screws. is it the slit on top or the part that
actual makes a screw work and stay, the part on the bottom. i have no
clue which u mean. where do you put the loctite or nail polish too?
I have screws that never stay in, but I also would find a way to mess
something up because I'm not sure what you mean. thanx.
