If you do use loctite make sure you get the MILDEST stuff possible not the usual types available from automotive supply stores. You need the type that is designed to hold adjustments not lock threads. Use a tiny drop of it!! The large surface area of the LTM mount causes the regular loctite to be like welding. To loosen a "loctite"d item that is stuck, you have to apply heat, which is not a particularly great thing to do to a lens.
