Feel kind of silly asking this kind of question, but you all are a bunch of handy people. The set screw keeps on falling out of our brand new kitchen faucet handle. Last time, I fiddled with it and just tightened the screw. Less than a week later, the little set screw is on the kitchen counter again. When I took the handle off, I can see it's actually machined, which is pretty cool. What I do see is there are only 2 threads in the handle. Is this the reason the screw would loosen easily? The stem that the screw goes into is some sort of plastic. Would a simple loctite solution be adequate?
