Hi. I have been searching the forum for information regarding how to fix a sticky crown thread. My new Kermit has quite a sticky thread when screwing the crown in and out. It almost feels like its grinding a little bit. I blew into it and it made a big difference so i think a little bit of lube will do the trick! The general consensus seems to be a silicone based grease. Has anyone done this before and if so is there a specific brand or type of silicon grease that is the best to use? Thanks in advance :)

That sounds like a neat watch-based "life hack" as the young people like to say.

I was sent here by another person. This helps, especially if you use silicone grease on the floss and rub it around when your are done. Thank you!
