Discuss What to do about a wobbly lamp holder? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net
I used a long threaded rod to go through the wooden base but it doesn’t screw in or go all the way through, it’s a bit loose…see photo. I was wondering about glue to stick the rod into the base hole but sounds like a messy job, do you have any other suggestions?Glue sounds a bit Heath Robinson. Is there any reason the fitting won't tighten up properly?
Thanks for all the advice. I’ll give all that a try.I'll also add, that if you are finding the threaded fittings are coming undone when they are mounted in solid items (not the cork) when you're moving the lamp, you may want to put a spot of thread lock on the fittings and then tighten them down. Loctite make a variety of different sorts, the one I've used most was like a blue pritstik (I got from Halfords I think) but I can't for the life of me remember the code for it. It comes in various colours and the different types are designed for different applications, sounds like you may benefit from just a general purpose thread lock.
