| If you mix blue Loctite with red Loctite and wind up with purple Loctite is it only mostly a pain in the ass to break loose? |
| I have to wonder how many of the people who say a soldering iron, or whatever, will loosen either blue (#242) or red (#271) Loctite have actually tried it? Not one person I know has been able to get red Loctite to release; and the last person I tried is a well-known gunsmith with over 50 years' of experience. As for blue Loctite? I've had sporadic results. Most parts have not released; and this is why I stay on good terms with a local tool and die maker. Maybe it's because I haven't been willing to destroy the temper in the metal by heating the parts until they're either visibly smoking or cherry red? |
