I was swapping out scopes and rings the other day, and had the pleasure of cleaning up loctite residue. There was not a lot, but my OCD quickly kicked in. After using mineral spirits with not much avail I tried Hoppes, and then acetone. I would have went straight to the acetone to dissolve the residue but I didn’t have much on hand so I tried the others first.
I was able to get most of it off, but there is still some deep in the threads. I plan to reuse the screws. Is there another solution that may help? I scrubbed them with a brash brush also. If I can’t get the rest of the old loctite off, will that be an issue when I reapply new loctite and torque them to specs?
Mods.. if this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move the topic. Thanks
