Thread lock disaster

So today I finished assembling my back and chest armor, meaning I would not have to dissable or anything again and I decided to use thread lock on the nuts on the brackets.....

 

Not a good idea..... The thread lock attacked and cracked and blew out the holes I drilled for my brackets. Now I must spend countless hours repairing, sanding and redrilling holes to repair my armor. The point is, if you use one of these bracketing systems for your armor, use super glue on the nuts instead of thread lock or lock tight.

 

Hope this helps someone avoid the same mistake and problem as mine.f5fbb2be07183ae52cfda5aa62c0a88e.jpg9130ed2d2c336059d87f8300186e3ec1.jpg20d25465340388620019ef1c36e766d1.jpge83190c7babb44e63a6f2a3348fb592a.jpg04fbcab008dd1eadf2be7bc1231b50ca.jpgadf152718e0436ca3c4280b43482ab52.jpg8a4bd118ae1f0899502cc3533b19bd49.jpgd2c4a59becebc78d4a9d3aecedce74c1.jpgcddf679caf0134c63cfad68b6f4a11a5.jpg4812d273cecdad843f8517f5a581dc91.jpg5c0adbba472ee29553485db56d8911ea.jpg7cf8f32ca42bd62fd5163eadeff449f5.jpg68750f4a4934e368cd6c3a7eb5aad633.jpg25c4e4605450989814898c0bad490e58.jpg

Thank you for this post. I am close to doing my straps and had given a thought to that. I am saddened that this has happened to your armor. Any idea why that happened or what about lock tight made it do that?

Repairs and partial weathering complete. Well after many days and hours of nearly crying in a fetal position after my horrendous and tragic accident, I have finally completed my repairs.

I added abs plastic reinforcement strips and longer screws as well. But needless to say on this day victory is mine my friends.b422f3efd1f92d84f08ef8f201a7ec5b.jpgfdbe4d743e256215184d2750e2a2541b.jpgeb5ceba31aa0906c799ee795828318e2.jpg9c907c577f12e6d0b4a89fcdc6713006.jpg
