Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Red loctite 🤬🤬

I like "Pliobond" rubber cement.nA dab on the threads protects against any vibration induced loosening and removal is non traumatic. It approximates the screws having polymer sections in the threaded shank of the screw.

Good stuff to use on heavy duty fishing knots.

I have a 6mm Remington Classic that someone put red locktite on the fill-in screws that replaced the sights.

BUT THE WORST!!!! I had a scope that came on a rifle I bought on-line. The idiot put red locktite on the scope adjustment caps.

I believe that if a person is buying red locktite or WD-40 for their guns, they should never be allowed to own guns due to basic stupidity. They are just too stupid and likely voted for Biden.

Red is fine for scope bases. A needle point torch makes it easy to remove?

I use a soldering iron with a fine point applied directly to the fasteners. Loosens most adhesives/thread locking agents right up without making things around them too warm; some scopes use a lot of nylon and plastic parts internally. Acetone will usually help remove any adhesive remaining on the parts.

have used the blue loctite for 30 yrs.never had a issue.just works.

I never used red on guns, but I buy a lot of used guns, so run across it here and there.

I use nail polish mostly. I like the thicker consistency.

A soldering iron works relatively quickly as well as being able to concentrate the heat on a very small area (screw head).

I use Blue 242, says removeable thread locker, it comes in a red squeezer tube, go figure. I only use it on scope bases and rarely have a need to remove bases, when I do, no problem.

Long ago Red Loctite taught me to read directions!
