Default where to buy threadlock or locktight

I need this for my short stick installation. Can i go to a place like Home Depot to get some. What exactly is it? I have the UMI short stick (which works awesome!) and the stick has already become a lil loose

Looks like this. Get the blue one. Add a couple drops to the thread, then tighten.

Any auto parts store will have it. Home Depot may only have the red stuff (much stronger than what you need it for).

thank you very much for the info! So I put some of this on the bolts or inside the holes for the bolts on the inside of the short stick?

I would say use the Teflon tape, but the lock tight will work too. Just add about 2 drops on the bolt and thats it, to much will just make a mess
