Default Nylon bolt thread locker

Anyone know if there is a permanent thread locker for Nylon/Plastic bolts? Was thinking of using superglue, any suggestions.

Super glue would do it, might be a real pain to get the fastener out later should the need arise. I have always used RTV silicone (some are marked "glue and seal") on the fastener like loctite when assembling the item. Once it is dry it works very similar to loctite, screw will come apart with effort but doesn't loosen on it's own.
