Keeping screw-in points tight, what do you use?

[Zradix]

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.

plumbers Teflon pipe thread tape.

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.

string wax works for me too

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!

I've always used wax.  It melts away in the summer time a bit here in AR but I just re-wax my string when I do the points.

I'm not sure if one mentioned it before but wax is what I use.
