Suppressors Need some help with TBAC can

Rocksett has high heat tolerance but is actually not that strong. I have had it happen, I think we are big gorillas and put the cans on to tight. Taper fit is amazingly strong. Let me find a video for you.
Thanks man! I had this idea already but didn’t know if it was a good one lol. This helped change my mind.
What to do if your CB/BA suppressor gets stuck
If you don't think you can get the can off a BA or CB mount, try this. Take a medium or small rubber dead blow hammer and give the rear of the can a...

Clean muzzle threads and internal brake threads. Apply red loctite, wait 24 hours, remove can with strap wrench. High temp red loctite is recommended.
My experience is that they only get stuck on when they're cranked down hot, then they "shrink wrap" themselves onto the mount when they cool.
Zak obviously is the authority, but I advocate red loctiting to your barrel, then hitting the base of the suppressor with a blowtorch to get it (reasonably) toasty before trying to screw off.

The Ultras will generally come off CB brakes easier when cold. 17-4 has a thermal expansion rate about 25% higher than Grade 5 Ti.
Loctite and wait did the trick. I went ahead and took all my CB’s off and threw them in the ultrasonic cleaner. I’m going to clean the threads and re-install them all with some 272 red Loctite.
I just removed a 30 BA1 from the old style brake. Major pain. My gunsmith had a custom 5/8 24 bolt and lock nut made for this. We still had to heat up the suppressor a bit with a torch. Finally came off. I'm putting in a cb brake adaptor so if the adaptor sticks in there i don't care.
The TBAC guys may have other thoughts about this, but I generally leave some anti-seize on my brake-mount threads.... Tends to help.
Rocksett didn’t work for me either. High temp red works like a champ though.
I had this happen once, I had to wrap an allen wrench with electrical tape, then placed the allen key in a vise and used the muzzle brake baffels to twist the break out.
