Re: The best way to secure loose posts

Teflon has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any material. While it works great for plumbing I would be hesitant to use it to lock threads.

What I do in this situation is wrap the threads a few times with a thin piece of thread or string and reinstall the posts. After this I simply cut the excess off with a sharp razor blade.

PS: It would certainly help, but even well oiled wood changes slightly. If it hasn't been oiled in a while do it now before it gets really cold and dry (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere).

PPS: Yeah they are pretty good instruments. Personally I like Selmer basses better but that's me.
