I believe we used BLUE loctite 242 (medium strength threadlocker?).

It clearly has a warning about harming some thermoplastics. We did use it liberally, so you are probably fine if you didn't get mass quantities on the plastics themselves.

We are now in the process of stripping off all 7 Victors, and two SPIKEs. It also destroyed our 40 Amp Fuse Holder. (another senseless thermoplastic victim of loctite)

Thanks for wishing us luck.....I appreciate it. (and of any team in the New England area has an extra Victor 884 we can borrow, please email me at bigqueue_qlewis@yahoo.com or send me an alphanumeric message on my pager at: 8008259611@timex.skytel.com . We have 7 Victors on order, but they will not arrive until Thursday at the earliest!)

Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks,
-Quentin
