@vergogneless There are tutorials for how to apply locktight correctly..

 

Great, thanks! Is it permanent, or is there a way to dissolve the glue? With acetone, for example?

[aFrInaTi0n]

From my experiences with locktights their dryed-out remainings may be carved out when the screw is being loosened and tightened again..

There are different strength thread lockers. 

Blue is medium strength and removable. 

Red is strong and very hard to remove.  Use red if you don't like someone.

Orange is strong like red but removable like blue.

Does anyone know what screws are used on the MTP wheel hubs?

I want to make my own plastic ones using a similar method of holding wheels on with screws. I guess I could go to a hardware store and find some if nobody knows off the top of their head.

Should be default M2.5 or M3.

Edit: And I need to give the thread an overdue update on the main post for all the new liftarms which are available... what did I sign up for?! :D

M3 DIN 7991/ISO 10642 - hexagon socket countersunk head cap screws. I don't know the lenght. You can also use DIN 965/ISO 7046.
