As I believe I reported previously, I also had a bad experience where a plate secured with Vibra-Tite came loose. Went back to blue loctite and no further issues.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
This is how my adventures go, buy a $23 bottle of VC3, have had no issues with Blue, but thought that I would try something new. Haven't even opened the bottle and am now wondering if I really should try something new when Blue has always worked for me.
That’s enough to convince me to stick with the Blue Loctite that’s always worked for me as well.

My RMR on a C&H plate was mounted using Vibra-Tite per Nick’s method and is holding tight.

I've always used blue loctite. Haven't had any issues but I do make dure to let it cure properly.
Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
I have mounted, dismounted, and remounted optics using blue loctite dozens of times. Same method, clean-degrease, apply loctite primer, dip screws into the blue, twist to get about 270 degrees coverage, torque them down, let optic sit there for 24 hours. I had a screw come out once, a side screw on an Atom plate. This VC3 thing came with something, so I thought I'd try. Funny, it didn't hold the optic but can't get the dried out shit out of threads.

Same.
Maybe it's less about which product we use, Blue or VC3; but rather about HOW you use it. Kind of like a guy told me in a gun store: All those Glocks shoot low left.
Whatever product you use, you must apply it in a way that allows your chosen product to give you the results that you want.
Same.
