I've used Loctite retaining compounds a number of times to better secure cups in place. Last time was a few years ago and at that time there was a goopier and a thinner version. I chose the thicker type as I has a rather loose fitting situation. I did use Loctite cleaner too. I let the compound cure before I reassembled and adjusted the headset. I've seen the bike back in the shop this summer for annual tuning and the headset was fine and still solid. Andy
