This guide, presented by Dave Timm, details the proper application and selection of threadlockers for firearm components. It emphasizes the importance of degreasing for optimal bonding and outlines the use of different strength threadlockers, from low-strength purple for small screws to high-heat red and industrial-strength Rocksett for critical applications like muzzle devices and gas blocks. Proper curing times and torque specifications are also highlighted for reliable component retention.

Properly using Loctite on scope mounts is crucial for preventing screws from loosening. Always degrease threads with alcohol or brake cleaner before application. Be aware that Loctite acts as a lubricant when wet, potentially leading to false torque readings; reduce your torque setting accordingly. This technique applies to both scope bases and rings.
