Default Better way to tighten the prop?

Hi Gang,
I flew today and I had tried and turned the nut just about 1/4 turn.
I had that thing super tight.
On another post someone said you should see the washer sink into the wood hub a bit and thats tight.
How can you get a very tight prop nut without breaking the prop while holding it?
I guess i'll go with 4-5 pounds of tourque and a nylon lock nut unless someone has a better idea.
Open for suggestions
