Best Way I have found to keep Fader caps on

DJ Nightmare Productions 9:13 PM - 23 August, 2011
I tried Silicon and concrete sealer... they worked for a lil while... but since i am a turntabilist and I am hard on my upfaders and crossfader, i found this to be the most solid fix.. I taook the fader caps off and got a very small piece of duct tape and wrapped it around the actual part that sticks up out of the mixer, (being careful not to overlap at all) and pushed the fader cap back down on it and it is snug as can be....No longer comes off in the case as it did before or mid set... If you are having this problem with your fader caps I would advise you to do this... cheapest and best fix I found out there.

Peace

I actually like this. I've been taking a small lighter to the bottom of the fader cap and melting the plastic slightly so its tighter...
