Yes I used a toothpick too! I do recommend putting it on both even though one is tight as the vibration will eventually loosen it as well.
That's exactly what I do too - I squeeze a drop onto a piece of plastic, like a lunch bag, then dip the end of a toothpick into the drop and transfer just a little to the thread. It doesn't take much; as they say "A little dab will do 'ya". And as Miznina says, do both screws!
Thanks. So far they haven't budged at all since I put the second one on the same way the SA showed me when she put on the first one. In fact, I tried to take it off to see if I'd be able to when the glue comes (tomorrow) and I can't get the screws to move. I'm not sure I can even get these off w/out stripping them. So I might leave them be and only use the glue if I notice them loosen up.
(of if you have suggestions on how to unscrew these w/out damaging them so I can add the glue, I'd appreciate any tips!)

I don’t think you will need the glue.
And in general, i don’t think glue is a good idea.
At Cartier Paris. I was told o e should tie the bracelet very well and if it becomes loose after u tie it really well ut means the bracelet is defective and Cartier should replaced for free.
As i first got my bracelet, ut got loose twice as i was i was afraid to tie hardly in orde not to brake the screws but after i followed what the lady as Cartier told me “ screw until u can’t anymore” I’m now happy and feel mt bracelet is safe.
From time to time i check the screws and they are really tight and if i need i tighten more but usually dont.
I noticed that the gentleman who put my second one on didn't screw them in nearly as tightly as the first SA did. First SA went back and forth on each side 4-5 times to put in each side gradually and the last two turns on each side she gave it every ounce of strength she had. She wasn't afraid to really give it some force. He didn't screw them in nearly as forcefully. So when the second one came loose I did what the first SA did and so far so good. I do think you REALLY have to turn that screw until your fingers go numb from the pressure. LOL.
Hi everyone, I wanted to share something I found while shopping for my own bracelet's lost screw. I found a reliable seller on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/savemycartier
They carry the screws in all colors and the shipping is fast ( I got mine in two days but I am also in Canada). I bought a couple of the gold and white gold to stock up, the price is quite reasonable and looks exactly like the one I lost.

I have now had my love bracelet I purchased new at Sloane Square Cartier in 2012 October for 5 years and I’ve never had the screws loose even slightly . I took it off once and my husband wore it for several months and he works on his car sometimes so it has a few little dents and heavy scratching but never has it come undone at the screws they don’t budge at all. mine would be the new screw system at the time I don’t know if that makes a difference . I always check my screws everyday to make sure they are diagonally to the right and they have never moved
And I mistreat my bracelet a lot ! I’ve bashed it , layered it, took it off using a regular household screw driver which wasn’t the right size but I forced it . I would say it’s been more than worth it’s cost I live in it

Hi. I own a small love bracelet, the one who comes in 1 piece. I feel like when it's lock and I pinch it between my fingers, I can feel a gap and hear a click. I feel like it's not all the way secure. Is it normal ? I live in Quebec, Canada and there's not Cartier near by. I had to buy it in Toronto, and it's far.
If u feel gap and can hear that little click that means it is not screwed all the way, or the screws became loose.
Retie the screw, and screw them well .
I noticed the screw alignment is different on each side of my love (new this month). Is that normal? I am a bit paranoid one may not be tightened all the way - yet it feels tight.
one is tight at 10/4 and the other at 11/5 if that makes sense.
thanks!

That’s normal. My screws are never even with each other.
