polycarbonate and threadlock

[jiott]

I believe the thread locker fumes cracked your doors. In my installation instructions, maybe it was in the instructions from LP Aero, said DO NOT use thread locker anywhere near the acrylic plastic. It will turn it brittle and crack.
I know it does this on other types of plastic also; I once used Loctite on some plastic bolts on my toilet seat that kept loosening up. The next morning both bolts had broke off.

I just used a little Elmer's glue on my window bolts and tightened them just finger tight or a little more. They have been on for 370 hours now and not one has come loose.

Jim i want to see how you fit a toilet in your kitfox. Ha,Ha.
Unfortunately i missed the warning. Thats what happens when 5 yrs go by and parts and papers are spread everywhere. The elmers glue is a good idea.
For now i drilled the holes to 1/4" and used shoe goo to glue 1/4" o.d. clear tube in the holes. Then i used some larger white plastic washers on my screws. Time will tell.

Well Ken, you know that storage bin that is under the pilot seat. A little creativity and some chemicals in there and Wa-La. STI says use only with no passengers and no turbulence.

That's brilliant Jim. No chemicals necessary though . That's a perfect spot for the leg bag connected to a condom Catheter! For the more adventuresome you could use a Foley catheter for a more secure fit. LOL.

At work, the technicians used an enamel (glyptal) to lock threads. Works great, although any non acrylic enamel would work.
