Re: [Harp-L] A loose screw ( and it wasn't me)



I had that problem with a couple of Hering Vontage harps. The nuts seem to come loose easily. Superglue works but I use Loctite which is a glue specifically made for metal. There are two grades of Loctite: one is permanent and the other is temporary. The temporary grade is perfect for harp covers as it allows for an easier break in the seal if you ever need to remove the cover plates later. Loctite comes in small plastic bottles and is available at Home Depot, Menards, etc. It works great.
