[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 131050"] Probably your best home-remedy solution (pipe restoration craftsmen do it better, but the wait factor while yours is in the queue can be daunting) is to get a stick (it will be small) of what's called "peg dope" from a violin shop (or e-store). This is pulverised chalk and used motor oil, compressed into a little crayon with a foil wrapping. Violins, violas and cellos (which have tapered, wood-against-wood tuning pegs) use it to avoid the same kind of "click" problem (too far, back to not far enough, back to too far . . .) pipe guys have with stems that are too tight. With a slightly undersized tenon in a pipe, it will add just enough diameter, while lubricating (very, very slightly) the connection for a butter-smooth, continuous adjustability that will stay put where it's set. FWIW :face: [/QUOTE]
