DIY Center caps come off too easy?

[Todd]

I have an issue with one of my DIY's, not sure why but the center cap on the white face comes off or pops up while solving.

Is there anything i can do to stick it down with otu making it impossible to get it off again?

I put two tiny drops of super glue on each edge and put the caps on. It holds them fairly tight. The only drawback is that you've to be careful where you're putting the glue and need to make sure that you don't break anything when trying to remove the cap.

Thankfully it typically comes off only during a U/U' Perm which is at the end

I am not sure about superglue, that and i dont have any (Last time i used superglue i had glue on my fingers for like a week :-\)

Try krazy glue?

One time, i put too much and i glued an edge piece along with it. It was my best speed cube too! So careful when you glue.

You can try the hammer trick. It's where you use a hammer to make dents on the center cap so the center cap will fit more snuggly.

You could cut out a piece of paper about the same size as the cap and put it under the cap.

So far the bit of paper is working

Super Glue! get it from Woolworths/Safeway or something ;p

I've tried super glue and the paper, and the paper is the best, cause it comes off easily when you want to adjust the screw tension.

I would have to +1 for paper again.

Just put together another DIY (bought a few frmo cube4you..) and ALL of the center caps came off really easy, paper in them all and its going beautifully.

Actually, with the Chinese DIYs, I don't do anything with the center caps; with time, they just stop coming off. (Same thing with Eastsheen 5x5x5 center caps)

I can't take my center caps off my DIY, even if I take the surrounding cubies off it and try my hardest it won't come off. I guess it kinda works with only 4 washers, it pops a LOT, though. I locks up a lot too, but moves smoothly even without it being lubricated.
So my red side is tighter than all other sides, can't open the center cap. :x
