Title: Vibra-Tite
Post by: twotone on January 04, 2018, 06:26:38 AM
Anyone using Vibra Tite.

I been using this stuff since last summer on scope mounts , handrails and such. Stared using it on reel handle knobs. It doesn't dry hard and is reusable for a few uses.

Vibra-Tite?
Despite the name, Maybe I need to try it.
The usual Loc-tite is a one time deal and dries hard.
I think it will be good on The Everol reel screws. They are not like a penn nut.
Just a big V head screw that worries me about coming loose.

I first learned of it from MidWest Industries . I purchased a free float rail for a LR 308. This what they claim they use. Same color on there screws.

I for got my pic of the package!! I like it unscrew if wrong on eye relief, move until happy.

I have a tube of this to try.
If I like it, I'm buying the 30ml bottle.
I get stupid with handle screws.
I let them get in my head. That is the link that cannot fail.

I use it where I feel the use for loctite but am concerned the mating thread might get contaminated with oil or grease during assembly.  Works great on servicing fishing rod roller guides.
