So ive ditched PTB and blue foam cart mods for various reasons, and am back to the polyfill and straw mod. Now Im remembering why I ditched it in the first place, the bridge pushes the poly back down into the cart and doesnt make contact eventually.

Are there any tricks to getting the poly to stay put? Im seeing on stock carts there is glue holding it both the bottom of the cart as well as the side. Has anyone figured out how to accomplish this without glue?

Ok, so Ill answer my own question. ;)

What I found is before stuffing the fill into the cart, hold it between your index finger and thumb, and rub it into your palm in a circular motion. You will gather up all the stray fibers and create a slight bulb on the end. Stuff that fill into your cart, bulb side up. The extra density and width at the top of the fill seems like enough to hold the fill in place without sacrificing the wicking action. It also reduces the strays that get caught on the atty bridge.

I used to have dreadlocks and this is the method I would use to keep the ends nice and rounded. :)

Hope it works for someone.
