Hey all:
After discovering the amazingness that are Loctite applicator sticks (think a glue stick, but as Loctite Blue or Red), I also came across Vibratite VC3. I've gone over to using it far more than Loctite Blue, but wanted to make sure that I'm doing right.
Basically, Vibratite VC3 is a threadlocker compound that you apply to the threads in question, and let dry before installing. Once dry, the threadlocker is of similar holding capabilities (from my reading) to Loctite Blue...but (and this is the kicker for me), is reusable. Set once, and then use multiple times. For things that may be adjusted a few times (optics, rail accessories, etc), that seems to be pretty ideal.
However, given that I'm not a super expert on such things, I wanted to ping the braintrust to see if I was missing something somewhere.
(For those who are interested in any/all, here they are on Amazon_
