When I put the Weaver blocks on my Cadet I roughed up the bottoms of the blocks w/80 grit paper to bare metal and with the barrel evenly lightly pitted I just decreased it w/brakeclean and evenly applied the Black Max and its still working.

Why not use black acuraglas? powdr

another one to try is arrow nock glue. I've also made the mistake with solder flux messing up the bluing. I haven't used arrow nock glue for sites, but did use it to attach 2 blued peaces of metal together on a lever action. takes about 24 hours to cure

If you ever make a pilgrimage to the Point Blank Shooting range in Blue Ash Ohio, the main entry is right where they made Staybrite for years when they were at that location. I helped move them to the new facility in Mason.
