I asked the original question since I'm cookin something up in my little noggin and it's related more toward screws than pins. This idea bouncing around up there begs the question, should one want to use some sort of screw system that would NOT be adjustable when finished, can some form of the loctite be used to ensure, once proper tension is applied to the screw, that such tension stays that way permanently?

It sounds like the answer is: Yes?

Sure. You could always use 24 hour epoxy on the threads and tighten it to your satisfaction. But once the work-time is over, that'll be it and there will be no more adjustment.
