Keeping screw-in points tight, what do you use?

Wondering what some of you use to keep your screw-in points (target and hunting) from loosening.

I'm looking at some rubber washers, but was wondering if a DROP of medium strength Loc-Tite would also work, while still leaving the ability to remove them if need be.  Or would the Loc-Tite leave me high and dry if I ever want to swap points?

So what do you do?  Thanks.

A little string wax works well. Plumers teflon tape works too.

I've used the kids Ekmers glue.  Just plain white glue.  I was surprised though when I went to swap points, it was tough to get started.  I also noticed it appeared to cause rust to develop on the threads.  But, that's what I use.

Before the HIT came along I used to use a small piece of serving and that is how I would align my broad-heads as well. I never had a problem do that and now you can get most arrows with the HIT tip. I use wood now so I don't have a problem at all. When you don't have to screw them on they tend to stay in place. You can also use a bit of the hot melt but you better screw fast.

blue loctite. you should have no problems with it loosening, and if you want to take it out, it shouldn't be a problem. even still, if it is a problem, just boil some water, dip the tip in for a bit to loosen the loctite, and use a pair of pliers to twist the tip.

You can stop searching for the answer. It has been said - string wax. That is all you need!

I heat it up so it is soft and dip the fwild point threads into the wax and screw them on.

Don't need much wax. Just a dab.
