I don't know if Lock-Tite would be my first solution. Go to any Sears Hardware, (or any other hardware store you prefer), and pick up a roll of plummers tape, (it's a white, thin, rubbery-type, non-adhesive tape). Wrap a small amount around the threads clockwise, while putting some light pressure as you go around, (you should be able to see the threads through the tape). Don't have to apply to much. I would say twice around at most. Cut off any over-hang and install the screw. If done properly you should feel the tension on the screw increase and form a good tight seal. Better than going straight to a chemical based liquid IMHO.
