U360 Balltop Spinning Off
RoninEditor:
Hey all. So I'm up and running but my U360's balltop seemed to screw off (to the left). I try to clamp them down as hard as possible and this still seems to happen. Would putting a dab of contact cement on the threads be a bad idea...? Has anyone done this and regretted it if they had to take them out...?
I'm not sure what else to do because it's kinda embarrassing when people play on it and it happens.

I used some glue on my old sticks and I do regret it because now I want to install my U360's. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get them off without damaging them.
What I've been told is to put some tape around the thread then screw on the balltop. That should keep them on there but still allow you to unscrew them if needed.

That seems strange, there must be a really bad fit between the threads. You could use contact cement but obviously be permanent. I personally would use PTFE thread tape.
EDIT: We must have posted at the same time headkaze, oh well great minds..... :)
TOK:
You could use Loctite. Choose based on color, red or blue. One is a strong bond that can still be broken (I think thats blue). The other is stronger and totally permanent.

Thanks guys! Great stuff here for sure. Yeah, I wanted to avoid contact cement if I could, not that I'd want to replace there (I love them) but in case they broke down the line.
