Pick "surface insensitive" a.k.a. "oil resistant" while you're at it. About the same price, but much more universal. Also, in some cases gel is more convenient. Here's the stuff I use:

You want Loctite 243 - the oil-resistant version of normal Blue Loctite (242). This is basically the same thing.
I could be mistaken (not owing one of them) but they seem to be entirely involved with holding on nothing more than a plastic "decorative trim", in which case as long as they get a few turns into metal its all good.
Make sure you put a drop of permatex blue on it when re-assembling (eg this), get it from where ever is convenient, and any decent hardware shop near you should have it. Make sure you get that and not a high strength one.
