FSA says to use Loctite 641 on the spindle itself. However, I've never been able to find the stuff locally. Here's a web link.

I have used Loctite blue (242) on the threads of the bolt, and it seems to help.
The inherent problem in the FSA design is that one bolt tightens the crank, as well as setting the preload on the bearings.
The shimano approach of one bolt to set pre load, and another two to hold the crank arm in place is a much better design IMHO.
