item is to slippery
I used wd40 on an item that is supposed to work as a bolt to hold the top of the kitchen aid attached. It worked in getting it back in after it slid out, except it is a little to slippery and starts to slide back out at times. Anyway any thoughts would be great.

Say what? Your explanation is confusing. Pictures may be best.
|
unscrew the bolt and wrap a little steel wool around it before you put it back in. Or, just remove some of the WD 40.
|
General solution to slippery fasteners: a little appropriate-strength Lock-Tite.
|
After you clean off the WD 40, (alcohol might work) apply some lock tite - BLUE - stay away from the RED or you will have a hard time taking it apart in the future.

I so wanted this thread to be about sex toys.

I vote for lock-washer. Easy assembly and disassembly and it shouldn't back off on it's own.
|
WD-40 is not intended to be used as a lubricant :mad:

Is it a loose bolt from the threads being partially stripped or is it slippery?

Sorry it is a bit hard to explain if you have a kitchen aid you see how the head of the kitchen aid goes up and down so you can put things in and out of the bowl. The hinge has a metal bar that is in there that holds it together. It fell out once not sure how, and would not go in so I put some wd-40 on it and it went back in, the problem is now it tends to slide out.
|
Wrap a bit of tape around it.
|
Try disassembling the joint and degreasing all the parts with simple green or something like that to wipe off all the lube. Reassemble and see if that works.
