Handles on pots loosen over time - can I loctite them? The handles on my pots loosen over time and I have to occasionally tighten the screw that attaches them.

Is there any reason why I can't or shouldn't use Loctite (screw locking compound) on them to secure them?

And if that's the case, why not send them from the factor pre-Loctited?
You could use Loctite 2046 which is food safe. They list deep fryers as a possible application, so it should also work on a cooking pot.
