Hand tight is as tight as I go.

Yup just hand tight with some blue loctite if they ever get loose.

dont listen to this guy saying use blue loctite. Loctite eats away at plastic.

Your gonna need a torque driver to achieve the 1400 ft. lbs. needed to keep them from moving.

But really they only need to be hand tight ~7-9ft. lbs.

You have plastic screws and binding posts?

Dont put a fucking gallon in obviously, or it will overflow and potentially eat at your binding plate.
Put a very small drop on the bottom of the threads on the bolt and screw it in...a miniscule amount goes a very long way as its powerful stuff.

Its not rocket science people.

or spray paint.

id use teflon tape before id use nail polish tho.

If your neat with the loctite, i see no problem with it.

i guess it depends, i used a tiny drop on each screw and it still managed to eat away at my baseplate. Ended up shattering it.
