I have noticed recently on two of my Baron rollerballs the end cap has started to unscrew itself. This is probably caused when the postable cap is screwed on and off the bottom.
Has anybody else noticed this and would a smidgen of CA glue on the thread solve the problem?:thinks:

I have used CA on threads that are a bit loose, but make sure it is only a smidgen, you can always add more, but it is difficult to get rid of a lot, I applied it with a toothpick incase a flood happened.
