the point of the small round space between the knuckle and the d shaped part is to keep binding from happening...
True but I think cdog4w is wanting something to keep the nut on the axle so he does'nt have to fully seat the nut and bind the wheel.
As far as Loctite goes I think the material is the same as the old Sram x-ray mtb twist grips I spoke of and we used thread lock on them without problems. Since we're talking about the wheel hub in this case I'm with you... exercise caution.
Acrylic paint can be thinned with water and really just insulated the nut from vibration that could work it loose, same as teflon plumber's tape which is very thin.
Melted wax might bind but it would wear quickly and work as a dry lubricant as well. Wax would also work as a thread lock and would leave minimal residue if the axle threads are dipped in it and the nut is threaded on while it is warm. If there is any excess build up the wax is soft even when cool and esily removed.
