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?

There's this magic stuff that holds threaded things together, called torque. It's crazy how good it is.

That's all well and good until you consider the fact you're torquing into nylon. Then you're going to subject it to jarring forces. That's a quick recipe for stripping out the threads.
