[TowerTalk] Loctite on Antennas

[K9MA]

When I last put my TH7 up in 1993, I put a drop of blue Loctite thread 
adhesive on every fastener, except the hose clamps on the elements. 
Before I took it down last week, nothing had moved. (It still worked 
fine, but the tower is getting rusty.) I'm planning to do the same with 
the W3JK Mid-Tri I'm putting up. Is anyone aware of any down side to 
doing that? I know anti-seize compound is recommended, but I'd rather 
the fasteners seize than loosen up. In any case, nothing on the TH7 
seized. It would be nice if the new antenna stayed up for 26 years, too.

73,
