Quote History Quoted:
I have a Griffin Armament Taper Mount Tactical Compensator on as the muzzle device. That was set on the barrel with Rocksett. I then have a Griffin Armament PLAN-A XL Taper Mount Adapter that I will be using with the Compensator. The Suppressor will then attach to the Taper Mount Adapter. My understanding is it basically adds another baffle and I don't believe that the Suppressor will attach to the Compensator directly. I understand that I wouldn't add adhesive on the threads between the Adapter and the Suppressor so it can be removed quickly.
My question is whether I should be adding adhesive to the threads between the Compensator and the Adapter. I would think the answer is yes but I just wanted confirmation due to my inexperience.

You’re either confused on terminology or you need to do a lot more reading before you potentially screw something up.
The taper mount adapter screws into the can. The can,
with attached PLAN-A XL, then screws onto your compensator. When you want to remove the suppressor, you unscrew it, backing the suppressor
AND PLAN-A XL off of the compensator. When shooting the gun unsuppressed, the only thing attached to the gun should be the compensator.
You do
NOT leave the PLAN-A XL attached to your muzzle device.
If you want thread locker anywhere in that setup, it’s between the adapter and the suppressor, although proper torque should me more than sufficient.
As a note, the PLAN-A XL does not act as an additional baffle. It’s literally a round piece of metal that shouldn’t be interacting with burning gases much, if at all.
