"I do not have ANY heating tools here."
Stove, flat ground nail, and a pair of pliers comes to mind.
Good luck with your search/endeavor.
A heatgun does wonders..........I use mine about 5 times week. Loc-Tite never wins!![]()

loctite has no business on or around the AR platform.

Whoa
Loctite has no place on an AR. hahahah. Its got no place on a bolt carrier, where the heat will render it ineffective. Everywhere else its fine, including on a castle nut.
I wouldnt trust Loctite on a castlenut if somebody else told me it was there. (its difficult to visually confirm its there and you dont know if the parts were properly degreased before its use) But if I installed something myself, I'd trust the loctite to hold it.
Re heat. Heating the guards to 300 deg will not hurt them. At that temp loctite red has lost half its holding strength. What matters is that you apply the heat carefully and locally to the screws.

p.s. I dont pretend to know a whole lot about AR's. I'm here to learn. What I have to contribute is that I've worked on things mechanical for all my life. I roadraced motorcycles, I rebuilt an aerobatic airplane. I built a house (for what its worth). I've used a lot of loctite in my day, and disassembled a lot of parts joined correctly and incorrectly with loctite.
p.p.s. Buy the smallest tube you can find. For most of us, it will dry up before we run out. No sense spending $22 for the big bottle unless you are an engine buuilder or a gunsmith.
