The hot handle in my old Crane shower/tub keeps loosening over time. We keep a screw driver nearby to tighten it back up, but a week or so later the screw is loose again.
Last year I took the handle off and found a little plastic white insert to be worn down. Found a replacement and replaced it. Handle Issue was repaired, for close to a year or so, but clearly didn't last.
Ser attached pictures of the handle.
Ive thought of placing a bit of low strength thread locker on this little screw? But if I ever need to get back in there again, I don't want the screw to be near impossible to get off. So I'm hoping there is a better solution. Also a bonus points if anyone knows the screw size or work to get a replacement, the head on the current one is definitely worn from the constant retightening.
