[Healeys] Tightening bolts

I had to loosen the bolts attaching the hinges on my BT7 the other day. 6 of
them turned quite easily after some fairly hefty initial work. One needs a
couple of whacks with an impact driver to get it started and one was just
plain loose.

So, now I want to tighten them up. Plainly, I want to be able to undo them
again at some time or other..

Does the team think that something like Coppaslip (or whatever it's called)
is a good idea. Half of me says, "Use it. You'll be able to tighten them up
that little bit more while still being able to undo them later".

And the other half says, "Don't use it. It will enable the bolts to loosen
themselves off."

Which half of me is right???

Thanks, 

Simon
