So I'm one of those guys who thinks if one drop of Loctite is good, ten drops are better, lol. I had Loctited a riser to a Primary Arms red dot sight to use on an AR. I sold the AR and no longer needed the riser on the red dot. Trying to figure out how to apply heat without destroying the red dot, I wondered how using a Soldering Iron on the bolt would work. I didn't have one, so I ordered a cheap TRAVOL soldering iron from Amazon. I tried it out today, and IT WORKED!!!! It took several tries, and I really heated up the bolt head with the tip of the soldering iron for a long time on the third try, and it loosened right up and I got the bolt removed with no problems. Everyone else probably knows this little trick, but I'm a little slow lol so I thought I would post this to help out anyone like me. . Happy, happy.
UPDATE: It is Blue Loctite, not Red. My bad.
