Hey I have another question.
so here is a thing, I did receive now VC3, and as per the instructions I applied VC3 on the barrel nut of O2 handguard, then screwed it in with 50lbs-ft.
but here is what I was thinking - did I apply enough of VC3? i basically applied VC3 with brush and VC3 was pretty runny and spread across in kind of a thin layer...so at some point I was thinking "what if I did not apply thick enough layer of VC3 on thread and it will at some point detach/unscrew etc?"
but on another side I was thinking that... applying too much is probably not good since there is danger of not being able to screw it in fully so that it presses against the barrel shoulder against receiver...
anyway... here is a pic after I applied it and screwed it in, after applying I had a feeling that I applied a bit more towards left of barrel nut than its beginning, but again, I remember seeing VC3 "being runny and ran around" all threads when I was applying with brush. (btw, on barrel nut adapter-receiver i applied regular grease)

notice some red stuff inside first hole from left? that kind of makes sense, cuz while screwing it in some of VC3 got gathered at that edge inside... and to me it tells that maybe I should not worry that there is not enough VC3, correct?
I guess no need to be overthinking and even taking it apart and applying again but with more thick layer of VC3?
thoughts?
