Lost or forgotten installation tips from the past!

A dab of thread lock on larger ceeform plug terminals and also on compression glands saves a lot bother if you're dealing with kit that gets pulled around/moved about or plugged in at different locations.

Also very useful for cabinet screws that are attached or near to a machine that vibrates during use. Keep the dabs small mind you, it's strong stuff and can defeat you if you do need to release the thread!

How?

Start by snipping the end of the MICC for about half an inch with side cutters, curl/bend over the flat blade end of a decent large long screwdriver and Bob's your Uncle, Pyro was my speciality back in the day I just loved 6 foot tails on a 7 core.

Never had a pot fail or go pop.

Surely faster to pre-drill than wait for it to rust?

Lost Korea, Vietnam, awaiting results from Iraq, Afghanistan, but they did beat Panama just, just saying, still fighting the war on Terror, wonder when they will give up on that one?

I suppose they are called "screws" now. Made of steel, tapered thread and slotted head. Usually found in floor boards and door hinges of old houses.
