Blue scales might just be my new regular scale selection!...

Probably referring to the email for the DEK scale order.

No, we haven't really had anything to report. I don't want to spam you guys if there's not actual news. It is probably about time for one though.

The weight finally seems to have stabilized. Nathan wants to give it another week to make sure it's good before we process it.

There is red loctite on one side and blue on the other. If you have the point to your left and the sharp edge towards your body, that should be the side with red loctite.

Using 2 good quality torx bits should get them out no problem.

Is it possible to have no threadlocker applied before shipping?

This is against our policy.

I’ve had no issues taking any of mine out on various CPK’s. As has been stated, with the spine up, and the tip facing away from you, the screw on the right is the non thread locker side (or blue). Using 2 wrenches, they’ve come out pretty easy. Some I’ve only needed 1 wrench on the right side.

When you get new screws, you also get the threaded ferrules that have lock tight on 1 side, so no reason (for me at least) to take the screw with lock tight out.

FWIW,

The "mark" side is the side that says "Carothers". (Some folks also refer to it as the "show" side or left side.)

The "pile" side, is the opposite side that doesn't. (Some folks refer to this as the back, reverse or right side.)

So, red loctite on mark side.
Blue loctite on pile side.

That’s definitely the easiest way to explain it. Nice clarification.
