What's the best way of stopping the plastic top hat on the three way switch on my Tele from coming off. I don't want it to be permanently attached should I ever need to remove it in future?

I'm going to try something like contact cement? Stays rubbery.

The teflon pipe tape that Miami Mike mentioned is what I use, too. It also works pretty good to shim up a loose Strat tremlo arm.

Heh, I have a custom 'tele' that has a Top Hat and it is constantly falling off. I have gotten good at pushing down on it whenever i switch pickups. I say buy a bag of them and kick em into the crowd when they fall off. It'll be a replacement to throwing picks into the crowd. :)

I've used clear nail polish. Works great!
