Default G5120 Bridge Adj Screw problem

The adjusting screws on the E , and the A string saddles keep loosening off, and buzzing while playing. Any ides to cure this while I wait for my Compton to arrive ?

Dab some clear fingernail polish or silicone around the screw head. It usually works and is 100% removable.

Currently waiting on my Compton too and had to do the same. :-)

But use the semi permanent (blue). If you use the red stuff you'll never get that screw to turn ever again.

I went with the stainless steel. I had a hard time choosing, they all sounded great in the clips! It was $65 shipped from the Compton web site.
