Default Super Glue as thread locker?????

Cleaning my rc this morning, took everything apart to get rid of all the sand and dirt on it. Putting them back together and found out that I am out of loctite, found some super glue in my tool box and used it as a thread locker. Is this good or bad? Anyone does the same thing?

On plastic it's ok because it'll just act like more plastic, I dunno about on metal though.

It will work, but one good jerk on the screw and it could crack apart, although it should still hold.
Locktite doesnt dry rock hard like crazy glue, thats why its so hard to break apart initially.

Should be ok, unless its a very high torque area, then I'd get some locktite.
