[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3061359, member: 13624"] Replace "soldering iron" with "soldering gun." I've never seen an iron (sometimes called a pencil) over 60W, but I have a dual-wattage gun at 100W/140W. The tip is bigger, too, so it has more heat-carrying capacity. I'd file the tip flat (rather than pointed or chisel) so you can put more surface area on the head of the screw to maximize heat transfer. The hotter the tip and the faster you can dump the heat into the screw, the sooner the threadlocker will give way, minimizing heat put into the rest of the mount and sight. [/QUOTE]
