Out of many years using Loctite thread locker, I've found a much better alternative! Make sure whatever you may use this for is permanent!

Bought this for high temp coverage and checked on manufacturers web page. Confirms usage on turbos.Long story short, i followed instructions for all manufacturers and then heat treated as specified. This just turns to dust. The parts in question vibrated loose and fell off the turbo. There was minimal thread lock present (it all burnt away in less than 200C/392F temps.). i have had a further play with settings etc and this stuff starts to disintegrate at 50C/122F. far from the boast of 1093.33C/2000F.Due to the nature of the part i used, it ended up being welded in place. This stuff is more like "light duty" rubbish!

Works like a charm. It deserves the attention it gets. Much better than the high temp (red) loctite. I understand now why armorers recommend this product.

Haven't tried removing but it definitely hasn't come off on its own yet. Longer shelf life than Rocksett. This is my preferred thread locker for muzzle devices

I'm not sure what to expect as I had my doubts about this product as it just looks like a small bottle of water. Goes on very thin so be very careful.I had to repair a propane heater for outside use and I always run into the clam shell screws shaking loose over time. Most lock tight products just can't handle the heat so I thought I would try this while I'm purchasing others to replenish my stoke.In all honesty, when it first poured out the spout, I chuckled and thought how gullible I was, but you know what... the darn thing is holding solid and I have run the unit for over 5 hours at a time, twice. My new concern is if I am going to have problems removing the darn screws.

I used this on an adjustable gas block that clamps on for good measure. Also decided to put my muzzle device on with it and ultimately the rear HUB qd mount on another suppressor that was sometimes coming loose. So far it has worked, I cleaned and cured the locker and you can see it seep into the threads and expand as you’re heating it. The white residue cleans off with a nylon brush. Not sure why people are having muzzle devices come off so easy I torqued all mine on correctly and never had one come off this was just for good measure. On a 5.56, with about 6000 rounds no issues before or after applying it to a Dead Air keymo mount. Also used on a 300 blk and 7Mag for the mounts and a dead air primal hub, the sandman is a fixed mount.I cleaned with a nylon brush, then iso-alcohol let it dry then 1-2 tiny drops on the male threads, screw, torque to desired value, then heat. I heated with a heat gun and it got plenty hot. Air cool then wipe down with oil and let it set. The heat will burn off the oil on the metal.

I purchased this to secure my JMC flash hider on my beryl rifle. I wire wheeled the barrel threads, used acetone to clean the flash hider and barrel threads, heated with a torch to temp, used a Matco laser thermometer to monitor/keep temp for recommend time, and left to cure over night. Felt rock solid, so scheduled a range visit. First time out shooting at the range (only 90 rounds in) it came loose.Definitely DO NOT recommend if you plan to secure ANY muzzle device on ANY firearm. It may be good for low temp nuts and bolts on an engine or machinery, but NOT good for firearms use (though that's what it was technically made for.)Really disappointed, guess I'll just have to pay to have the flash hider pinned and welded.

After having set screws come loose from gas blocks, even with high temp red loctite applied, I decided to give hot lock a try since it was sold by amazon and not a 3rd party like rocksett was. After applying hot lock to the gas block set screws, they have not budged, even after extended use. The key to getting the product to cure properly is to use a heat gun. After applying the hot lock and tightening the screws, heat the screws with a heat gun. The hot lock will turn from clear to white and begin to bubble up out of the sides of the screw. Once the bubbling stops you're set to go. I used a wagner heat gun on the low setting, and it took less than 10 minutes to cure. The holding strength seems to be stronger than blue loctite. Trying to remove the set screws was starting to bend the allen wrench I was using, so I ended up putting the barrel into a pot of boiling water on the stove, with the water covering the screws to be removed. After about 5 minutes in the hot water the screws came loose easily. This is an excellent product for high temp applications, and I am 99% sure that the people who have had problems with its holding strength did not properly cure the product with heat.
