I have used the strands of #0000 steel wool wrapped around the bolts of two double cavity Lee moulds and to my great surprise the bolts stopped loosening up ....before that every three cast had me tightening the bolts back up ...But the threads were not stripped so I'm not sure if it will work ...but what do you have to loose...a few strands of Chore Boy or 0000 steel wool ?
