    Renee-
     Last time I looked, the green loctite was the one most easily removed. Or
    so I recalled. I'm using green on eyeglass screws, and it spins out without
    any problem But I'd expect whatever color their "lightest" product is, will
    be plenty on sextant screws. Use a quality screwdriver set (Wiha is a fine
    brand) so as not to mar the screw heads.

    "Hydrophobic" came from you, or someone's label. I was describing one
    product, not classifying hydrophobic products, fwiw. I'm not sure I've ever
    heard wax called phydrophobic, since it doesn't "fear" or repel water, it
    simply doesn't mingle with it or attract it, AFAIK.
