The TiX threading requires ever so slightly the turn of the threads under water. A good gripping tool (rubber bands, rubber gloves, jar openers). This is what I did. And it took a 2-3 times on 2-3 different evenings. The key would always be to take on 1/4 turn at a time. Turn a 1/4, back off a 1/4. Repeat until smooth. Move up another 1/4. Don't take on too much at once because it will get stuck. I have gotten it stuck. Back it off (yes it will be tough). Proceed 1/4 turn at a time. Tackle one section at a time.
Once you seperate the sections, use a toothbrush and brush clean any particles. Then reassemble and continue. Running water helps, but won't clean those particles off alone as you work it in. So every now and then, stop, brush them, and start again.
Here is the good news. After a few sessions of this, when it threads perfectly, you will not encounter this again. I received my TiX and did this. I've gotten them stuck. I've done the work. I have never, EVER, had this issue again. Well worth the work.
Patience, and you will be rewarded with what I call the BEST mod Perseas has made.
Great and precise instructions as usual! My problem may be that I bit off more than I can chew...turn!! It is an awesome mod and I am so proud to own it that I haven't used it yet! I'm not giving up yet!
