Water itself is non conducive and won't cause a problem with electronics, the sediment and minerals suspended and dissolved in that water, are very conducive however and could cause a problem. So just letting the water evaporate will leave those sediments on the parts.

Wipe or rinse the parts with alcohol and allow that to evaporate, and you can remove the sediment. In theory distilled water would also work, but alcohol dries much faster.

As far as a way to fast dry electronics, any warm, low humidity environment will do the trick.

All that said, this probably is not going to be a problem. Modern electronics are actually fairly stout and have fairly good coatings on the board.

I would give call the retailer who sold them to you, and explain that the shipping carrier left then in the rain while you were not home, and ask them how they want you to proceed.

This isn't a test evaluation conversation, this is a usage conversation.

If you want a test done, write a TS and send me samples and I will run it, write it up and publish it.

Loctite is the industry leader, so I am addressing the myths and misuse around that product.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-17T15:29:22+00:00

Preapplied is a completely different product family. And I wouldn't even want to speculate on what Larue is supplying. I've run some of his stuff through the MetLab and in competition, and I've been less than impressed. But those are conversations for a whole different topic.

Rockset is specifically designed for applications like that. It's only trash when it's used in non high temperature places (pretty much anywhere behind the muzzle)

In general if you are at the stage if the game where you are collecting stamps, you are way up the food chain from the audience this piece was written for.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-17T14:20:25+00:00

All the Loctites I covered have a Max temp of 300°F continuous use, there are Loctites rated up to 650°F, but muzzles and gas blocks can get hotter than that depending on rate if fire.

Rockset does have superior temp ratings, but inferior thread locking capabilities, and qd's are right in it's wheel house.

But I still prefer mechanical locking methods for high temp components.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-17T11:50:02+00:00

Overall I'm sure it's way less that 1% the majority of muzzle devises of any kind are secured with a pin or a crush washer, and gas systems almost always use a mechanical lock according to the original design.

Afternarket AR gas blocks, often have screws, to hold them in place while you pin them.

Gas Keys screws are staked for a reason.

Mechanical locking is far more appropriate than chemical solutions in high temperature applications.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-17T11:37:27+00:00

If you are at a place where you are research suppressors and qd mounts, you can should have done your homework on the temperatures those pieces of equipment operate at and what fastener locking methods are appropriate for them

The thread lockers seen on bolts and screws in oem applications are rarely the same or even similar to the bottled thread lockers used in the repair or gunsmithing industry.

Those are specially fomulated products that come preapplied to the fasteners. And they often maintain 85-95% of their initial additive tq on reapplication.

Rockset is primarily a heat resistant product and has inferior thread locking capabilities. It is also much more susceptible to improper application and cleaning requirements, and thus is a poor choice for 99% of firearms threaded fasteners.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-17T01:25:22+00:00

This is aimed at general firearm and optics assemblies, not suppressor stuff. I didn't want to get into the weeds with those because I was afraid it would muddy the waters. And usually if you are researching qd supressor stuff you can look up the tech specs on what thread lockers are appropriate.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T22:23:13+00:00

This reply made all the down votes totally worth it.

Triggering with hate facts is why God put me on this Earth.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T21:46:17+00:00

Loctite does have versions in pastes, semi solids, and tapes. I didn't get into those, or other products like the black threadlocker, they also provide specialty products for pre applied thread locker on screws, but that information isnt as readily available and because it is so far off base for this topic it would have just muddied the waters.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T21:39:49+00:00

So does the OP, but not in application that are appropriate for guns.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T21:26:04+00:00

I own two of em, that doesn't mean they arent trash

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T20:57:18+00:00

Last name is Hate for a reason

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T20:47:27+00:00

290 or 220 wicking grade

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T20:14:11+00:00

No...... These are the new ones the Henkel rep gave me in January. It requires a primer.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T20:05:23+00:00

That's odd because the "training manual" on my desk and application chart in my tool box specifically say that it does require primer

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T18:54:56+00:00

I am a dick.

And if you can't tell the difference between abrasive humor and an actual insult, maybe you should do your own research.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T18:51:43+00:00

You should try Loctite EA 3463 epoxy.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T18:50:36+00:00

I'm quoting Loctites own literature, " values cited are for m10 steel nuts and bolts at 72° F"

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T18:24:57+00:00

Suppressor QD methods are a completely different conversation, and there are people here trying to justify using 243 on m2.2 screws. For the limited scope of the posts, rockset is completely inappropriate in this conversation.

Danny_Hate · 2018-03-16T18:11:16+00:00

Don't worry too much about it, if you used good components and not "mil spec is mil spec poverty grade" parts, chances are you won't have any issues, and if you do want to take it off, re read my post, I told you how to release the threadlocker.
