Thread-loc on CB antenna?
 

For some reason my antenna mast keeps vibrating loose from the base..
many times I have checked it and it was only being held by a couple of
threads. If I put a but of loc-tite on it will it still work correctly?

Probably. You could also use a lock washer as well.

Yes. loc-tite only fills the cavities, just use a teeny drop.

Use the red (242) one so you can actually get it apart at a later date.

Correct me if I'm wrong Doug, but isn't the blue Loc-Tite the removable? I
am pretty sure 242 is blue. but I'm too lazy to go and look in the shop.
