Loctite is a cyanoacrylate resin that sets when it gets into an oxygen 
free environment.

It's not viscous enough before it sets to prevent metal-to-metal contact 
(micro-welding) but once it sets it is rigid enough to prevent the 
screwed connection from unscrewing itself by tiny progressive flexions.

It should do exactly what you want, if my understanding is correct, and 
that should be easy enough to test (not that I can do it at home).
