If you are reusing a Ny-Loc Nut and you can turn it with your fingers, it needs to be replaced.
If it needs to be wrenched on the whole way and feels like new, it is OK to be reused.
Use common sense.
Loctite 242 and its close cousins are Not recommended for use with "Plastics". Read the package.
It may be called a "Nylon" Locking Nut, but do you truly know what plastic really is used?
Loctite 425 is intended for use on Plastic parts. Not Cheap!!! ~$25 per half-ounce.
It is labeled as "Low Strength", But don't assume that means you won't need tools.
It is more like Super Glue Strength than Red Loctite Strength.
