    Yep. Acetone will melt it something quick. And you'll have it handy for the next time you glue yourself to a nightlight you're fixing for your girlfriend....

    Acetone did not work. It DID turn the Loctite white and made it like cement.

    Goo gone is up next.

    Lightly scrape it with something non-marring, a piece of soft plastic or the like. After you remove the top layer, the acetone will clean up the residue.

    Tried "Goof Off". It ate the finish right off of the rings. Didn't do anything to the dried up Loctite though...

    Explain what kind of infernal components are in scope rings?

    I said light heat...not el scorcho. Heat doesn't affect our Class III anodizing on our black gunz...doubt it will on quality scope rings.

    Acetone didn't work? Really??? Sucks about your rings, bro - since you've already damaged the finish on them, may I recommend an abrasive powdered bathroom cleaner (Comet, Ajax, etc..) and a toothbrush (or brass bristle brush if the toothbrush doesn't work)? I often use this combination to get excess threadlocker off of threads - it also works great for making G-10 handgun grips and knife scales look like new again.

    Then you could always Alumahyde/Cerakote/Duracoat/Krylon your rings afterwards...

    Acetone WILL work. Take a glass jar and pour enough in to cover whatever the item is. Let it sit. Come back with a rag and stiff brush and use a little elbow grease.
