    Nail polish, laquer, paint, a dab of hot melt glue... take your pick.

    But every workshop needs a small tube of blue Loctite. It's a standard item like WD-40 or masking tape... gotta have some.

    +1 for Blue Loctite. Personally, never cared for any of the shellac or varnish-type tricks. Just good ol' Loctite Blue.

    I have had a small tube of loctite red in my toolbox for over 50 years (non, not the same tube). A 1/2 oz tube is cheap, last a long time, doesn't dry out and is handy to use.

    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
