Does Loctite alter torque on scope rings

[Lentuk]

I have been told by Warne customer service that using blue loctite on my scope rings caused over torquing and is the reason the Warne Hyperlite rings damaged my Trijucon Accupoint.
I used a Wheeler fat wrench set at 15 inch pounds and this is the result.

Yes, it does change the torque. So will oil or anything else. I always make sure the screws and threads are clean and dry. Sometimes I have to use break cleaner. If I want to lock the screws, I put a drop of clear fingernail polish on the heads once it’s torqued.
