Hi Hamisj,

    Years ago I saw my setter using beeswax to glue them in place. I
    thought that was clever until I tried it and experienced the plethora
    of problems from temp and residue.Seeing the need for adhesion plus
    clean and easy removal, I stole my wife's gluestick, set some
    channels, and the results were completely serviceable.Put a little
    water in the cap after opening and it will keep the glue moist and
    runny. I found the thinner the application made it less likely to
    need much tightening afterward.
