  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

I've busted one of the clip torx screw of my Paramilitary 2... help.

Hair dryer, heat gun and boiling water are not going to produce sufficient heat to melt Loc tite. And you only want to apply heat to the screw and nothing else. The heat will flow into the screw and into the Loc tite and not damage the scales but your timing is crucial. Be ready with the screwdriver and keep trying to loosen it as you heat the screw. A soldering iron is the proper tool (40 watt or less).

Unfortunately, I don't have a soldering iron, but I take your advice.

Do you have a solder iron to recommand, for future use ? I intend to do some motherboard work (computers and stuff), just for learning to solder. Something I can carry easily and with a wire (no battery or gaz). I need a "buy it for life" kind of iron, I like to buy stuff that will last me sometime. Thanks.
