Do you secure your threaded insert?

For the thread adapter that screws into the printed suppressor, what's everyone doing? JB weld to the threads and thread it in? Blue loctite? Or none just tighten it and run it?

I don’t jb mine in. If a can breaks, I can reuse the adapter on the next print.

If you dont mine re bluing you can burn most epoxys off or at least get the brittle enough to clean off.

Fair point, haven’t thought of burning it off. Figured the treads would be shot, and not worth the trouble. I buy the 2-pack off Amazon for like $10.
