I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it! My good friend Rudy Bosner, while hunting elk up Indian Creek. Posts: 1157 | From: >>>>Livin' in Utah-Huntin' in Montana!-------> | Registered: Apr 2005

I just found out that a small dab of hot glue stick about half way up the threads works pretty good.
I got the stick hot, put a dab of glue on (about the dia of the threaded portion), heated the threaded portion a tiny bit to get the glue nice and fluid, and screwed it in.
Doesn't seem to LOCK it in. Just gums it up enough to turn out by hand with a tight grip for a couple turns then eases up.

It works great and you will never have a point fuse to the insert(or wax melt out when hot)

Plumbers teflon tape. Keeps the points in place and it's easy to loosen the point when you need to change 'em out.

Best I've found is to use PTFE -- the teflon tape used on pipe threads. I've tried hot glue, nail polish, that blue liquid gook, you name it. The teflon tape holds fast but makes the grip just manageable enough that I can remove the tip if need-be. At roughly $0.49 per roll and with a roll lasting me no less than 6 or 7 dozen, it's a steal!
