Heat. Put it in the oven at 400f for 10 minutes. Fire is more fun ,but heat is what Loctite recogmends.

Green is actually the permanent loc tite.

I just take a few swipes with a wire brush and it cleans up nice.

Well,if you wanna put it like that...There is NOTHING that is permanent. Weld the damn things together,thats not permanent.

The "permanent" description on the bottle simply means it's designed for something that won't be taken apart again. Doesn't mean it'll never come apart.
