So i just got my ops inc break and collar in today and i pull it out to install. Instructions say to use rocksett to install. . . however it does not come with any which leads me to the title of this thread. Where is the best place to get some, will they have it a lowes or a home depo, or do i need to order it online somewhere? Also i have an extensive collection of loctite products, so does anyone know if rocksett matches up with any of the loctite products so i could use that instead possible and not have to wait for the rocksett?

Thanks
Pat

I have never been able to find threadlockers at Lowes.  Check your local auto parts stores.

I never seen rockset locally. I know of no loctite product that is equal. Loctite may make one.

For me MSC is one day shipping. You can wait a extra day for the correct product.

2oz will last you a LIFETIME!!  I bought it and had it promptly.  I will never use it all.  BTW, it's clear not black.

Just got a bottle in from flexbar, cheapest with cheapest shipping.  It took like a week and a half though, I thought about using loctite but didn't want to chance on a new Suppressor/mount.

Thanks guys, i will take my time and do it right. One last question, is there different strengths of this stuff like there is loctite? Or is it one hold fits all?

Thanks
Pat

Just plain Rocksett , doesn't come in different strengths just different sizes.  Like someone above said, the 2oz will last a while.

Have you priced loctite?

rockset stored in a normal env, has a 10+ year shelf life.

If you ever want to remove the rockset some sugest soaking the parts in water for 24 hours.

Rocksett makes loctite look like Elmer's glue.
Loctite red has a breakaway strength of ~ 40 Newtons / meter  http://www.loctiteproducts.com/tds/T_LKR_RED_tds.pdf





Rocksett has a breakaway strength of ~ 3 newtons / millimeter  http://www.flexbar.com/PDF/MSDS-Certs/ROCKSETT%20MSDS.pdf

Seriously? I have broken small bolts because the loctite bond was so strong. They make a threadlocker for almost any application. Loctite will come with certs and test data as well. I am curious about Rockset now.

I have used white Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant with success (item# 765-2648). What I have I got at my local NAPA autoparts store. The back of the package says that it is rated to +400deg which I would have thought to be too low, but I have no movement out of the QD M.I.T.E.R. mount.

I had to order it from Amazon a couple months ago.  The local Home Depot, Lowes, and Grainger had never even heard of it.

This was a concern of mine also.  I've broken my fair share of fasteners held with red Loctite.  Rocksett holds well but will still come undone without a breaker bar.  Loctite has it's uses and so does Rocksett.  It seems people have used both without problems, I ussually use Rocksett and am pleased with the results.

Rocksett's claim to fame is its high temperature resistance mated to fairly easy removal. It maintains its bonding strength at far higher temps than blue Loctite, yet "breaks" much more easily than red Loctite. It's pretty cool stuff.

I use it on muzzle devices and gas blocks.
