Garage door opener remote

[Bill]

Having bad luck trying to find the replacement remote for our Overhead Door
system, led me to try and adjust the quirky one giving trouble.
It is a single button type with a tuning slug which I got working after
spraying the board with Static solution for pc boards.
The slug is rather loose and needs readjustment often not holding its
position. Sometimes a sizeable turn is needed to get the damn thing to work.
What would you think of putting a thread glue on it?
Suggestions are welcome.

Remember in the old (Ancient) radios, a very fine piece of thread with a
bit of Bees Wax slid down along side the slug, then gingerly retune the
slug, melt a bit more wax over it to secure it. Actually paraphane or candle
wax may also work except for the fact it may become very soft when in the
auto on a hot summer day.
Otherwise, maybe a bit of slow curing crazy glue, once you have the slug in
position it probably will not be adjustable again, without a bit of
fingernail polish remover fluid being applied.
I personally would try for a fine piece of thread alongside the slug, then
secure it once the fiddling is done. Good Luck.
