My local RSC put Loctite on my PAM screws when polishing / putting on a strap. Kinda wish they had not done so.

Was advised to put a match to the screws for 1-2 seconds. Hmm. Too chicken. I want to switch straps from a Black Gator to a Brown Gator, but don't want to botch anything up... AAAAARGH

Yup... Could not get the fingerprints off no matter what I did so I just lit her back up and did it again. This time I did not touch it and just let it cool down by itself for about 10 minutes and then wiped it clean. You may not be but I am very impressed with myself Usually when I try to fix something it only gets worse

WRONG

Not when you dip the screws in loctite 242... Trust me, hairdryer wont work... With the correct loctite, YES. No more loctite for me

Well in this case Adam,you were lucky!!!!

To much heat could warp the links......Wouldn't want that to happen now!!
A good job in the end......Good work!! Just don't do it again!!!

Mac & cheese, you're living large....for me it's stale bread & tap water to save for watches
Unless they'll take body parts....then I'm good to go!

Really? How would you know if they were warped? You mean it would be very noticable?

Depending on the severity,yes......If the shape looks like it's changed,it's warped!!

Remember my loctite thread? Well, I used the wrong loctite and the links got stiff (to say the least) and nothing would loosen it... Warm water, soap, acetone, gasoline... NOTHING.

When all else fails use FIRE... I held a flame to the watch for about 5 minutes to burn the loctite off, not sure if it was the smartest thing to do or not but it worked, it loosened the link and now it is not stiff... All the black discoloration came off with a bit of rubbing and it looks like new again.

So who wants to buy a perfectly new GMT Ceramic??? Just kidding... I love it. It was so stiff that I could not wear it so this is what I did. Funny thing here, some are scared to allow anyone other than ROLEX to regulate their watch and I hold open flames to mine

Moral of the story USE THE CORRECT LOCTITE AND ONLY A LITTLE!!!

My friend, I think maybe the Loctite should be locked away

Now I know two people to never send my watches to, you and Jocke.
