I’m wondering if anyone can set me straight. I ordered a new red plastic plug for the top of my vibroplex original I cleaned up. The part # was 8018. This plug is not snug at all. It is only big enough to sit and fall off. Is there more than one part # for this thing or am I doing it wrong???
Glue is the missing ingredient. If you contact Vibroplex they'll no doubt tell you what they use. I'd use a small dab of epoxy.
For a custom look you could glue in a properly-sized cubic zirconia. A garnet 4 mm diameter cubic zirconia is about $.05. Cheaper than the plastic version.
Those little pieces have evolved over time. I use glass beads + a little glue I think 300 glass beads might have cost me a buck. I forget if they were 1/8" or 3/32"
