Glue to reattach spring?

[Ultimist]

I was trying to stretch out my spring a bit, to hold the batteries a bit tighter in my Prodigy... and the spring popped off the end cap.

What kind of glue is the best to use to reattach it?

Just a dab of gorilla or super glue right in the middle. It will vent, so be careful. Make sure to let it dry fully and wipe down threads afterwards.

You can also try hot glue. It doesn't vent like super glue will.

Thanks for the fast response! Talk about service!

Incidentally... any sort of tentative ETA on the Prodigy V2? I'd love to have one by Thanksgiving...

Not yet Ultimist .... Still trying to determine the switch setup.

I've always been worried about this happening...

What do you mean by "vent"?

Just let it sit out or something until dry?

Hey Brandon,

When you use superglue, it vents fumes ... these fumes put a layer of silt on the threads and surrounding aluminum. If you don't wipe down, you lose conductivity. If you use super glue, let it sit out and fully dry for an hour or so ... Wipe everything down and you should be good. Otherwise, just use hot glue -- it doesn't vent

Right on.

I own neither super-glue nor a hot glue gun but if my spring ever became unattached I would be running to the store for probably the former.

Thanks the quick answer.
