Pedal Spacer question

I have one of those 1/2 inch 3D printed pedal spacers (pic below) and I noticed that the nuts don't have all that much to grip on. They still grab threads but not as much as compared to stock.

I was thinking about putting some loctite (blue) on the threads. Perhaps I'm worry too much, IDK... Has anybody with a 1/2 spacer done anything in that respect?

TIA

I have one that looks like the same one ( from eBay?) I’ve had it on for about a year and the bolts haven’t backed off but a little loctite couldn’t hurt.

Haha, thanks. Yes, from ebay. Did you get a free keychain as well? lol.

Puting loctite on is no biggie i guess, I am just a tad nervous of over-torquing the nut with everything being plastic. Loctite (anything liquid) skews torque numbers.
