[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2189428, member: 93138"] I was taught 30 years ago blue on base screws, NOTHING on ring screws. We only installed Burris bases and rings back then. Never had one come back or receive a complaint. These days I like the capillary action lock-tite versions for small to tiny screws. Tighten dry screws to spec, [I]then[/I] apply the lock-tite. EDIT: I still wouldn't put any on the ring screws. If all that you've got is a flame to heat with, heat a piece of copper (if possible) or stainless steel and use [I]that[/I] to apply the heat to the screw. Then I like a sharp rap with a punch set in the bottom of the screw's socket. [/QUOTE]
