    Blue is easy, heat it up, screw it off.

    I've had good results using Acetone. Just a few drops let them work their way into the threads

    Just bring a glove next time you go shooting. It'll come right off.

    To get it off, MEK is the best way to go. I've been able to get stubborn red loctite off of threads with a brass brush and that stuff.

    Yup, blue is super easy, and now you have an excuse to shoot it. Heat will make the blue go all weak, so just oven mitt it off after a mag dump. Then you'll want to do brass brush with acetone or methyl-ethyl ketone.

    Blue is pretty weak stuff, I am surprise you can't just power it off. Heat will make it turn to soft putty..

    Just spin off suppressor. 1/4 turn off, 1/8 turn back on, repeat.

    If mine isn't hot and I need to take it off I use a strap wrench and it comes right off.
