Brass Button Cover woes

[tmel]

Hey all,

I just got a brass button cover and I hate it! I locked my button, but the button cover on and twisted it the same way I twist my delrin rover and it just spins the button cover and not the button.

I can't lock/unlock my Reo with this brass button cover...anyone else experienced this issue?

Put the button in lock position without the cap. Wrap some dental floss around the button, then install the cover. Much tighter fit.

No luck with that....I wrapped 3 coils of floss and put the button on, same issue...

I just used the piece of thread rob included with my button cover. Laid the thread across the button, pushed cover on, and trimmed the excess thread. Haven't had any issues yet.

Hmm... perhaps a tiny thin rubber-band snapped over a few times? My delrin button cover was also loose as heck, like fall off if I held it upside down loose, but the floss worked out fine. I could pick my Reo up with a battery and full juice bottle in it by the cap cover now...

There's gotta be something floating around your house to fix it. If your not worried about melting your button, I'd just super-glue the thing on.

Good luck Sir,

I did the same as TastyKakes. I trimmed before i put the cover on because i couldn't cut the thread close enough afterwards and didn't like seeing the tails sticking out. My thread is actually only on the top of the button and down one side. Its a super tight fit and cant pry it off with my fingers.

if you're wrapping it around the button, or coiling it and setting it on top of the button, it isn't going to help it grab. You want to take the thread/floss/whatever, and drape it across the top of the button with some hanging off each side. Press the brass button cover over this and it should trap against the sides creating a tight fit.

I ripped a baggie in half, put it on the button, push the cover on over it, ripped excess off. Nice and tight.

2 tiny bits of the Dacron line that came with it across the top barely overhanging, a touch of superglue and its not coming off lol

Thanks everyone!

I didn't receive any string with it or anything, but I put a tiny piece of floss over the top and it's working perfectly now.

Same process for me with my brass and delrin button covers. Worked fine. Lay it across your button instead of trying to wrap it.


Edit: oops didn't see u had it already.

Yeah...trying to wrap was frustrating to say the least, lol.

I stuffed the thread rob put in there in the button cover and put it on
