Loctite?

[guppstatus]

If i were to put loctite on the threads of the bottom pin (no battery contact) on a manhattan clone, would i ruin my mech? Tired of tightening it down every 45 minutes.

Try a dab of clear nail polish it will keep it from spinning but is removable and easily cleaned off if needed

No, just don't use the Red permanent type, only the Blue. Dre's nail polish works to. That's an old domestic mechanic trick.

Dont have a Manhattan but the negative pin would always want to back out on my mod.... so I stuck a wad of cotton into the hole and threaded the pin into place, havent had a need to retighten the pin again...

I've got a pair of rubbery gloves I call my gripper gloves, and I hand tightened my Fuhattan button, since it did the same thing the first day. Been a week, hasn't done it since. They're handy to have around, sometimes I need them to disassemble my kayfuns. That's a solution that requires no additional material, and no need to mangle it with pliers. Just my .02c.

I used to use rubber gloves but since I've developed tendonitis in one thumb I stretched rubber tube over the jaws of a couple of pliers for el cheapo soft jaws. Work great for stuck stuff and narrow bases on kayfuns etc..

Smart. I've tried using rubber bands around pliers, and it didn't go so well.
