I used a bit a Loctite on my RMR screws and I recently removed the RMR to give the slide a good cleaning. I noticed there was some dried Loctite residue around the screw holes in the slide and it seems that the RMR doesn't sit flat agains the slide cause of it.
Does anyone know of a safe ('safe" meaning safe for the slide finish) way to remove the dried residue? I've read that acetone will remove it but I'm not sure what that will do to my nitride finish. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I thought I used just the bare minimum but I guess I squeezed out a little more than needed. It's definitely not an O ring. I'll try the heat gun first and hope that will clean it up. Thanks for the suggestions.
The first pic is showing the left side where the RMR sits flush. Second is the RMR not sitting so flush. Third and fourth are of the mounting "nubs" where the screws fasten the RMR to the slide. you can see the caked on Loctite. It's not a lot but enough to keep the RMR from sitting flush on the right side. And yes, the RMR did sit perfectly flush when first installed.
I use the brass or even stainless steel GI "toothbrushes" for removing much of the dried and unwanted Blue Loctite on various fasteners.
What I can't reach, especially internal threads, with a brush I use dental pick type tools to scrape loose.
It usually breaks loose readily out of the treads when some a bit of pressure is applied.
