Re: LocTite Base?

Blue is good if that's what you have. Just use a little bit. Put it on a toothpick and apply to screws. The purple is ideal. Made for the really small screws like mounts have.

Thanks for the screwdriver heat tip.

Seems most ring and base mfrs simply advise a thin coat of gun oil before installing, and then torquing to about 25 or 30 inch pounds which ain't much.
