The set screws on my adjustable comb keep coming loose. Any suggestions?

Guys, it's not 1978. There are at least 15 different Loctite thread-locking agents now and color alone doesn't fully define them.

For small set-screws in an adjustable comb, you want Loctite 220 or 222. If it makes you feel good, the 220 is blue and the 222 is purple. The latter allows easier removal.

Non setting PTFE paste works well. Also known as thread sealant for pipe fittings. A little dab will do ya and you can easily loosen the set screws when you want. A small tube can be bought at your local hardware store for under five bucks and will last forever - you might even find yourself using it around the house on minor plumbing jobs.
