[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 2595258, member: 47602"] I just got my new 300rum build and was anxious to get some glass on her. I usually use a littler threadlocker on my ring cap crews just for extra insurance. I had a small tube of blue Permatex that was unopened and brand new, maybe 2 years old, at the most 3? I thought it would be fine since it was unopened, I kneaded it and shook it up as best I could and installed the scope. I'm starting to really question if the threadlocker was any good still? The drops I put on a plastic tray to use when installing the scope really didn't ever dry. They sort of just stayed slimy and never fully dried. I used so little on my screws I can't see any excess in the rings to tell if it set up or not? Any I missing something here or does this stuff have a shelf life? I'm going to put some on a normal bolt and nut tonight as a test to see what it does. I really don't want to remove the scope and remount as it's perfect as is but I also want to have good threadlocker working correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
