Hi Crew,
Ive got an older board i love to ride. But footstrap screw inserts are worn n screws constantly loosen every few sessions. Is it advisable to use LOCTITE to prevent them from loosening?
Cheers Darkman.

i use an RTV adhesive on plastic inserts similar to this ;

Just use cyanoacrylate or super glue with a drop placed on the screw just before tightening up. Old trick from my RC helicopter days and nothing came loose. If its a real sloppy screw fit then try new screws which will stop you having that perfect session cut short which you know will happen.

Why not use star friction washers?

^^ Ok thanks mate. Will give it a Razz.

^+1 I often put dental floss or plumbing tape to help tighten screws
although i have not tried this with footstrap screws
asked local shop what to do with loosening footstraps
he said tighten the crap out of it
that has worked for me so far ...
(yeah - i know - now i just have to get in em and stay there)

Bigger screws first. If thread is messed up then I've used a plastic wall anchor. I epoxied it inside after roughening up/slicing cuts in it for the epoxy to bind. Then, I use a washer under the strap so that it prevents the anchor from coming out when tightening.

The anchor needs to be a tight fit, I hammered (gently) it in the insert. Anyway, worked well but I don't need to unscrew strap often unless I need to replace torn straps.

Go slow when tightening or unscrewing as heat will soften the anchor.
