I adjusted the trigger and there was this line of a plastic substance holding all 3 locknuts in a line with the frame so they could not loossen or turn. What is it called and where can I buy it?

Thanks

Bright pink for me. Definitely seems to hold the best!

Any nail polish will work, but the glittery ones hold the best!

Make sure you remove all of it in the screw heads before you try to adjust the screws!

It is just epoxy.

Winnies don't NEED any googe on the nuts to stay in place, but some nail polish isn't a bad idea. You certainly don't need epoxy.

For those of us who are not secure enough in our manhood to use glittery nail polish, there is always green Loctite (#290, if memory serves me correctly).

I'd go with a little bit of Lock-Tite blue myself, but nail polish is probably fine. Gorilla Super Glue Gel (or any cyanoacrylate gel) is good too. All of the above will dissolve with acetone.
