The bloody bolts that hold the bindings and handle on my board keep coming loose ... would it be a bad idea to Loctite them?

Teflon tape should keep your bolts from loosening up.
If you are bound and determined to use Loctite, shoot for Loctite Purple or Blue as it won't require explosives to remove whenever the bolts do need
to come off.

I swapped out the old nuts with lock nut,(nylon lock nuts). but the blue works best.

yea locktite wouldnt be a bad idea i suppose. But you want the non-permanent kind i would guess. That stuff gets nice and solid, but doesnt weld
those guys together. I made the mistake of using permanent on a bolt on my paintball gun and paid for it haha.
bigkid has the right idea. I use these nylon nuts on everything with bolts on my gear. Non-permanent, no mess, holds like a rock.

I'm not a huge fan on those nylon lock nuts ... I like the plumbers tape idea the best
I've got Loctite in the lipstick tube things ... blue, red and silver. Beats dripping #@%$#! everywhere
Oh I gotta repair an edge too - seems to have delaminated from the bottom ... I'm just going to epoxy it back together - that ok?

You can also buy hardware that has loc-tite already on it. This is good if the screws are going into inserts. That is typically what comes stock with
snowboard bindings, and easy to break loose if need be. Otherwise pipe tape is a good solution as long as you only use 1-2 wraps. If it is a screw/nut
combination, nylon lock nuts are the best solution.
