In all the cameras I worked on, I noticed there is some kind of red glue/resin around the edge of screw heads (not on the thread). Then when I turn the screw, the glue will break off. I searched around on the web, can't seem to find the exact purpose or name for it. Some say it's a tamper indicator, some say it's thread locking adhesive, some say it's torque strip (to be able to tell if the screw is loss and no longer have the correct torque). But nobody seems to know for sure.
What is the actual name and purpose of that glue. If it's essential the function of the camera, where can I buy it?
Thanks!
