Strap Button Repair
If your strap button is just slightly loose, there are a couple of ways
you can go about fixing it. The golden rule when repairing your strap
button is NEVER GLUE THE SCREW IN THE HOLE, as this can cause
major damage down the road. One way of fixing it is simply by using
a toothpick. Unscrew the strap button and place a thin toothpick in
the hole. When you screw the button back in the toothpick will give
the threads something to hold on to and this may fix the problem.
Another method that works really well is building up the hole or
making it smaller. Unscrew the strap button and carefully brush a
small amount of superglue around the walls of the hole. Remember
to allow this to dry completely before screwing in the strap button. A
few coats may be needed to build the hole up enough, but it is very
effective. This simple fix should keep your strap button from
wiggling around or coming loose.
