Loc Tite seems to work ok...
but acidy substances make it wear thin after a while....
:O
I was just at a friends house with a new toilet and the seat drops slowly on it own when letting down the seat ... very cool

Like a bog seat on gas rams? How cool is that?
On your advice staple, I'll adjust my aim accordingly..........

Changed six internal doors this year, bloody handles are always coming off.
That will teach me for buying cheap crap for B&Q (and for having teenage daughters) knocking lumps out of the house :p
Wish i had a shed

In the past I've tended to use a bit of silicon around the threads and around holes they locate into before tightening them up. Obviously, if they have screw heads try not to get the silicon in the slot or cross.
The thing about using silicon is it should prevent the bolts wearing loose due to use but is also easily stripped when the correct bolt is properly untightented (it also provides a little bit of corrosion resitance and if you use the sanitary stuff then it should stop the fungus setting in 
)
