They are saying to use a torque wrench so as not to over tighten. Red Loctite is mainly for something more permanent. Blue is better for future removal, or low strength purple.
The Red Lion Project

Ho kay, I went to the source and just called Red Lion Precision about just how tight I need the lock nut and cap screw to fit onto the coupler. (I know this doesn't mean much to y'all since you don't know the parts involved, but just trust me.) I started talking to someone but lost the connection. Before I could call back a nice gentleman called me back first. We talked about high tight it needs to be and all it needs is to hold the coupler on so as to align it properly. There are two other lock nuts and cap screws to use on the coupler and it is these that you really tighten down hard. Nice to know you can get good service over the phone from Red Lion Precision. Thumbs up! 
Your barrel will be fine. If that area will be visible once you finish the project, a little cold blue should make the scratch less noticeable.
Try not to be so hard on yourself. Most of us have done something similar to a prized possession. Eventually, it will be one of those, "I remember the time . . . "
No sweat!

Thanks Tucson. I'll get a flat black touch up pen to cover it up. On we go!
