I just found out the hard way. Turns out threadlocker isn't a very good conductor of electricity. I didn't realize the actual button part of the post that screws into the contact, of my private v2 completes the circuit. Started with just a plastic spacer to keep the button from backing out. Kept adding plastic till the mod would just fire before bottoming out, Perfect throw. Only took one time of the button to just start to loosen for me to run for the Loctite.
I took the plunge not realizing the severity of my actions I waited about 5 minutes for it to setup up real good. ROFL
Good thing I had a tester on hand when it wouldn't fire otherwise I may not have easily narrowed down the problem to the treads. I tried to break the locker bond even though I was sure it was never gonna happen. Good thing I didn't tear anything up too badly with those shenanigans. I tried quite a few things that didn't work. 2 full hours wasted attempting mission impossible. Now to make a long story short. I fixed it. lol
I took a 1/16 drill bit right into the contact where the treads meet on two sides and the middle. Ended up with a flathead shaped hole. Removed the leftover plastic spacers. Jammed the soldering iron in there and loaded her up with solder. Used a dremel sanding wheel to take down the glob. Finished it off with a polishing wheel and presto! Fires better then ever with a perfect throw and I never have to worry about the button backing out. Bet I never use red Loctite on a mechanical button/contact ever again.
