That plumber's teflon tape is a very good trick to keep on hand for sure. Its bailed me out many times. $1 roll will last forever it seems just using it for screws and tightening slop. Easy, no mess and cheap. I love it.Use a small amount of thread tape or plumbers tape on threads works well too, to stop it from loosening and is a lot cheaper than buying upgraded parts.
I did this and haven't had an issue since.

So if I’ve already cross threaded my stock blocks they are still usable? With stock nuts or do I have to switch to M2C?Also don't over-tighten or you'll get binding. They need to be just tight enough to allow movement without constriction. There's a couple upgrades if you happen to cross thread the pillar ball nuts ...which can often happen.
least expensive using stock blocks:

More expensive upgrading blocks too:

That's the forum we don't talk about.Back it out. Spit on it. And crank her back in. Wait....am I in the right forum??
That teflon tape is an awesome idea, never thought of that. Gonna have to use that one. Thanks fellas!!
I know this post is old, but the thread was bumped to the top. Do you do this with all threads going into plastic, or just the big ones? I just realized I might be cross threading screws going into plastic.Remove the red pillar ball retainer and put the oring back on it. When you go to screw it back in, to ensure you don’t cross thread it, turn it backwards until you feel the threads click. Do this slowly to ensure they mate properly. Don’t use a lot of force until you’re sure it’s not crossed.
Usually just large ones.I know this post is old, but the thread was bumped to the top. Do you do this with all threads going into plastic, or just the big ones? I just realized I might be cross threading screws going into plastic.
You are cross threading into plastic which is not a major issue, just be careful going forward. Stock nuts are fine.So if I’ve already cross threaded my stock blocks they are still usable? With stock nuts or do I have to switch to M2C?
