The contact cement also makes good thread-locker. It keeps screws in place, but never fully hardens, so you can get the screw out if needed.
I'm just getting back in as well... Can you (or anyone) please expand on trimming sidewalls. It seems that a lot of what has changed has to do with higher grip black carpet, and probably cars having more grip...

Thanks!
