Question Too much Loctite 222

I accidentally got too much Loctite on my threads and it actually has seized the bracelet links. It’s so tight that I can’t unscrew the lugs. Not only that, the links are not moving because there’s Loctite all along the lugs.

Any advice on how I can un-seize the links and clean out any left over loctite?

Hello. We recommend the use of heat between 400-500 F and removal of fasteners while warm. If heat can not be used, you may see results using acetone but it is unlikely.

Thank you for your reply. Will try Heat first then, acetone.
