I have an unopened tube of thread locker that American Defense includes with their optics mounts.

I'd like to use it sometime, but I know nothing about it.

Is it heat resistant?

Not that I'd  use it on something like a flash hider, but maybe for an M-LOK nut & screw on a rail that might get  hot?

Anybody know some specs on it?

Last time I checked they still use Vibra Tite VC3

If it is VC3, max temp is 165 F. I do use it and like it for optic mounts, but I'm still searching for the blue stuff Magpul puts on the ends of their screws.

I wish it was that easy to find! It's a reusable product like VC3 but much more durable. Nylok makes it but I can't find consumer grade quantities.
