Hi All- I have returned a couple times to deal with an old style faucet with the flat black (rubber?) seats. First, I replaced with wedged seats which became a problem because the faucet handles would keep traveling further and they were hard to shut off. The flat washers work better so I’ve gone with them. Now I have a problem with the screws falling out. Ithought I knew how to fix these until now. Can someone go through best practice on this? Thanks!

what you can do is take the screw out... take your pliers and crimp the end of the screw just enough to mark the threads that should help
The auto stores make a lock tite for threads that will come apart when needed with a screw driver.
The phillips screw holding the faucet handle in my shower would constantly loosen up and mama would constantly ***** about it. I got a small drop of Locktite Blue thread sealant, and have not had a problem since.
