Patrick from Davis said:There are several ways to make the nut hold tight. Glues, lock washers and so on. On the glues, I tend to like super glue (cyanoacrylate) because a little fingernail polish remover (acetone) will dissolve it very quickly. If you know a science geek, a 200uL disposable pipet tip (generally the yellow ones are this volume) will give the superglue bottle a very fine disposable tip. Gel loader tips are even better. I generally have to glue the screws on my glasses this way to keep them from slowly falling apart at the worst possible time. I would also look into a better metal than brass for a new nut on he bridge, no offense to any one, but brass sucks as far as durability for a nut. Go Stainless.
Out of curiosity, where do you find the pop in Floyd units? I have another guitar I might want t use this option on.

We use Locktite to keep nuts tight on motorcycles.
It's bad to be riding down the road 70 mph and have your nuts fall off.
