From Loctite's website:
"When disassembling red threadlocker the process is a little different than for other threadlockers. The key is to apply localized heat greater than 550° F. Then, once the threaded assembly is hot, the bolt can be unthreaded. Without applying heat to the assembly, it's likely that over time, a bolt would break before coming loose.
Watch this video for a demonstration on removing red threadlocker:"

Re: How to Remove Red High Strength Loctite
Way back in the day when accurizing Garands was common for DCM competition, we used an adhesive to unitize the band to secure the front of the rear handguard to the barrel that would withstand at least 600 degrees - anything less would let go after a 20 round rapid fire string.
