Thread: I need bracelet help!!!!!!!

    Loctite can work. For these problems, though, I remove the pin, and very gently and slightly flatten about 1mm of one end (not the leading end, the end that goes in last) in my bench vice. Just enough to provide a nice tight press fit. Stays put, and no worries about Loctite failing over time.

    You can also use a silicone based adhesive, similar to what you use for bathroom tile, etc.

    If you use the clear type, pull the pin out slightly and coat the area well with a push pin or toothpick, etc. Push the pin back in, wipe off the excess, and let dry for at least 24 hours to fully cure out.

    Silicone is flexible enough to handle any slight shifting while still retaining it's adhesion. It is also not susceptible to heat, cold, or moisture.

    And the nice part is it is very easy to remove with no residue if you need to disassemble it for some reason.

    I use this method all the time when a friction pin or press pin comes loose on my watch bracelets or case and it works great.
