i know loctite holds metal to metal screws together but what can i use to for plastic? i know i cant use locktite can i?

Not really sure what you are trying to accomplish, but if you have a screw hole in plastic that is stripped out the fix is pretty easy. Use a small zip tie and stick it in the hole, once you get the screw almost all the way in snip off the excess zip tie sticking out and finish tightening up the screw. DO NOT over tighten. If it ever loosens up just change out the strip of zip tie.

thanks bud i was just trying to find out what would hold screws in, like how loctite dose for metal screws that go in metal holes.

Ok, got cha. Here is what I have used in the past. Stays kind of flexible so you can remove the screws if need be: http://www.eclecticproducts.com/sealall.htm

I also use a dab on all the c-clips to prevent loss. Great stuff.

by nature screws will always stay tight when screwed into plastic, unless of course the screw hole is wore out, in which case do as Parputt537 said and use a ziptie

I've put CA glue in a stripped hole and put the screw in normal
when it dries you should be able to just unscrew it like normal

Tried loctite on plastic don't work at all

yup, super glue (CA glue) works like loctite but for plastic.
