[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 688180, member: 2580"] Something to remember, and one of several reasons I don't like to use Loctite. When it's still wet, it can act as a thread lubricant and give a false torque reading. 20 in/lbs lubricated will stretch the screws more than 20 in/lbs unlubricated. No proof, just my opinion. I use the same torque range as Rifle 57. Sounds like a lot on a 6-48 screw, but 20 in/lbs actually feels a little light when you do it. 35 in/lbs feels pretty good. Tom [/QUOTE]
