Subj: Re: [kl] a loose screw (no really!)

I once had a similar challenge. After a bit of cogging, I removed both
screws and gave entire lig an alcohol (not the drinking variety) bath,
after which I rubbed the threaded screws on a rosin block borrowed from
a viola player. For me, it worked quite well. While this may not be a
permanent cure, it may very well get you through a performance.
Best!

I don't want this happening in the middle of a concert, is there something I can put in to stop this happening, like Lock-Tite but not as drastic?
