Is there a loctite type compound to keep the spoke nipples from backing off?

I don't use Loc-Tite on spoke nipples ever. If you do use it remember that any torque or spoke tension readings will be inaccurate due to the grip of the Loc-Tite on the threads, even the weak green formula..
+1 Most wheel builders use anti-seize compound on the spoke treads for all the above reasons. I'd look for other issues before using the Loc-Tite.
