	Hello, all.

Have you ever been leaning into a turn at a busy intersection, keenly
aware of your role in the Bumper-Grist food chain, avoiding the jay-
walkers when suddenly your visor goes ape-shit, rattling and falling
away from your face to swing down into your adam's apple where it lays
and saws at your neck as you try to turn you head to find a spot to pull
over to park while you search for the rest of the hardware that held the
visor on till one of those plastic screws worked loose and let the visor
catapult those parts at the people at the bus stop 50 feet back?
	I have, and now I use a generous drop of Krazy Glue or other
cyano-acrylate as a Loc-Tite for plastic screws. It doesn't bind well
enough to eternally wed the visor to the helmet. You can break it loose by
unscrewing with your average penny, but it works well enough to hold
against all vibration. No more poking at your head with a gloved hand
twisting it back and forth trying to tighten it at stop lights while
motorists nod their heads in agreement with your apparently gestured
self opinion.
