Loctite and Opening New Screw System Love

[Violet Bleu]

I have, and although pretty it isn't for me. I like the thickness of the original Love on my wrist.

Ah! I see! I hope you find the bracelet you're looking for.

I have new system for 5 years with no loctite!

Thank you for the information! Do you know if the loctite clogs/sticks to the screws after the bracelet is opened? Does it affect future closings?

I've had my love new system love for 3 years. I had to start using loctite when I added a second love. I found them loosening and my SA told me it was from the vibrations of them banging together, he recommended the blue loctite(which I thought was ridiculous for the price). I take them on and off all the time as I like to change out my looks every few weeks and there have been NO issues. The loctite does stick to the screw after its opened, since it's a thread filler, and does not negatively affect future closing . But in the 2 years since I put the one drop in each screw, I've never had to put more back in.

I used the weakest strength and that screw won’t budge now no matter what I do. Soaked in warm water, used some olive oil.....help! I am afraid I’m damaging the screw.

Well, the product is doing what it's intended to do
You might want to check the loctite website for advice.

Thanks. Other folks have said that the weakest strength gives the screws a little more resistance but that it should still go on and off with no problem.

Are you trying to take them off or just tighten them? It seems like it’s doing its job! Maybe it will loosen up and provide less resistance over time?

What color was it? Purple is the lightest strength that I use with no problems taking the screws out. Did you maybe use 'blue'?

Sorry to hear that I suggest you go to cartier store or jewerly see if they can help you losing the screws. Good luck☆

Trying to rotate them. The scratches seem to be only on one side so wanted them to patina evenly.

Purple. #222 - low strength

I generally don't use the Love screwdriver, instead I use a jewelers screwdriver with more torque. Maybe that would do the trick.

Thanks! Leaving it alone for now. Letting it do its job. Although I'll admit that it sorta freaks me out that it might be stuck on. LOL

Yeah, I know the feeling, we all like the idea of our Loves being permanent, but when it starts to looke like they really might be it's kind'a ominous!

Yes. LOL. Can't think of any reason why it would have to come off but god forbid it did.....yikes!
