Hi Gang, I'm wrapping up the installation of reefing hardware on Spirit's boom. If I hit the #10-24 machine screws with some blue Loctite am I going to be sorry when I need to remove a fitting a few years from now? And just for info: I was concerned that #10-24 machine screws wouldn't have enough bite in the thin walls of the Dwyer DM-2 boom so rivets might be better. I checked with Dwyer, who said that either fastener will hold well. Jim Poulakis M-17 "Spirit"
