Beeswax wont lock treads like Locktite; it is easily disolved by dozens of chemicals or heat. But it is very useful for " sticking" screws onto screwdrivers or any fastener onto a tool so the fastener can be "started" in a difficult place or situation. This especially useful when one can't use a magnetized tool to hold the fastener to the tool (i.e., proximity to electronics or non-ferous materials).
