I have a mobile DVR that is attached to my motocross bike, and the
bolts that hold the pcb inside the enclosure are coming loose because
of nasty vibrations. The screws are very small 2mm, can i use loctite
on them and will i be able to remove later if need be? thanks!


Depends upon the grade you use, See

But the most common are: 242, it's blue and mild stength. 271 is red
and quite strong, the green one (can't recall the #) takes a LOT of
effort to release it, you will probably destroy 2mm screws first.
