Obviously never used the stuff, eh????


Love the trolls or butt stupid guys giving advice.

If you dont have real threadlocker...use fingernail poilish. Its
brittle, but it does work. Works great on gun screws/scope mount
screws. Will hold under heavy recoil, but will break free before you
screw the head of the bolt/screw up when removing it.


AND... Its not water soluble like sugar.
