Question Is loctite safe?

Hey,

I've been having problems with my TM AK47 selector lever, long story short, it used to slip and cause the trigger to be unresponsive (in full auto) until resetting to safety and back.

I took it apart and tightened a screw that's next to the selector gears on the outside of the gearbox, and bent the selector arm so it would stay in place.

The lever is now sturdy, but the vibration of the gun still loosens the arm causing the problem to come back again.


I'm thinking of putting loctite (thread sealant) on the screw going through the selector arm to keep the vibration from loosening the screw.
Questions though:

1. I plan on taking my gun apart a few more times if this doesn't work. Will any loctite gunk build up in the geabox inner threads?

2. Is it safe to repeatedly use loctite as many times as possible?


Thanks
