So, I got my new Ms Lori tube back a few weeks ago. It has been working great up to now. The fit is good and it stays secure with that 4ga PA piercing. My only complaint was the lock ring would loosen slightly during cycling. Adding some Blue Loctite fixed that problem. Usually I keep myself locked for about two or three weeks at a time (self-locked since I don’t have a keyholder). Last night, I locked up again and accidentally grabbed the wrong tube of adhesive without thinking it through. I applied Red instead of Blue right away. A few hours later, while putting things away, I spotted that RED tube sitting there. (The old version was blue with red text, not all-red like this one is now). Immediately after noticing, my head went flush against the ring. Since I hadn’t put the security tip into its box yet, I tried to unlock it myself. The head stripped a bit and I stopped what I was doing. Oh God! Now I’m unsure of the next step because 500 degrees is definitely out of the question for me right now. I am looking up solvents that might help soften the bond. Any suggestions??? Please!!!
