Super glue = knob cure

So you have some favourite knobs which are coming off your guitar pots because the grooves are no longer good to hold them there. Don't throw these knobs away, you can 're-groove' them for subsequent use. 

Purchase a tube of super glue, the Alteco 110 brand I'm using above costs $1.50 for a pair- cheap, eh? But it's good for the job & it lasts in the tube longer than some other budget brand names which dries up regardless if you re-cap your tube. Squeeze out ample amount of super glue & line it along the groove wall, leave it to dry- go for a coffee break, visit the loo, do some sit ups or leave it undisturbed overnight- in other words, give it ample time to dry. You don't want to re-attach your cap when it's still wet. Ta-da! Your old, worn out cap, is ready for re-use.
