Suppressors Loctite?

[Holliday]

CAUTION:

Ok I have had a chance to test this stuff and I am less than happy. This stuff locks up worst than red loctite. At least with red loctite 400 Degs F will usually loosen it. The 80inch lb breakaway of this green ceramic is a joke.


If you use this green ceramic make sure you you it very sparingly and can use a tool for removal. Otherwise you will need a torch ? and a vice with a tool that will handle heat, to remove the part.

(Thats why you should use rocksett)

Edit to address the next comment (But it works unlike your experiment)

Jesus christ. Lets just stick our fucking head in the sand and not try new things. Fucking hell grandma.....

Edit to address previous comment edit? (said the horseman ? to the first automobile, broken down on the side of the road)

Or is it sista toja.......?

Wait. Yours locked up?? Mine is almost loos enough to undo by hand??

So, 80inlb is for a standard size, I think 3/8. I'm guessing that the omega tube thread is around 1-3/8. So something around 4x the required torque....

Your initial report was why I threw caution to the proverbial wind. Normally I would have tested more conservatively.

I first gave both threads a good degreasing with a q-tip dipped in alcohol. I then put it on the full length of the treads, both sides. It then sat for a few days before using. In other words I did everything to maximize it’s locking power. Metals were stainless cap to titanium tube.

I would say that a small drop would have yielded better results. Since we are testing something new here I wanted to get a “caution advisory” out asap to prevent someone else getting in a jam. Pun intended.

Based on my initial conversation with this company, it is likely that soaking/ boiling might have worked but I did not try this.......

Oh well that's a difference right there. I went very sparingly with mine. I cleaned the threads with alcohol and then only put three drops around the thread. I did not coat it by any means.

So, not a failure, simply MY error in the testing procedure.

Some questions:

So you are having no issues pulling caps for cleaning?
Exactly how much are you using? Edit:Just realized you said 3 drops
Rough diameter of part and length of threads?
Materials being bonded?

Very interesting. I was not aware of how this was calculated...... Where did you get 3/8 inch from?

Looking at the specs for several different thread lockers. They all seem to list 3/8".

Solid intel. Thanks for bringing that up......So if it is 6/8” or 3/4” that would be double? 160 inch lbs?

Probably?

Figuring you have the same number of threads coated, you'd have twice the area to shear. But, if they used 3/8-18 and you use 3/4-28, you might have a lot more area. This might be a fun thing to test.
