[TowerTalk] Lockwasher Comparison

[Jeff AC0C]

I would second Jim's advice on locktite red.  I would use that only on 
something that I really wanted to never come off.  In some cases I have had 
to use a torch on a nut bound by red.  Looking at the stuff you would not 
believe it could hold that well but in some cases it definitely does...
