Summary

This guide will walk you through the process of securing the switch top to the body of your iTalk2 using adhesive. By following the steps, you’ll add extra resistance to help keep the switch top in place, preventing it from loosening over time

Required Items

• iTalk2 device
• Semi-permanent adhesive (one of the recommended options listed below)
  • Elmer’s School Glue
  • Hot glue from a hot glue crafting gun
  • Thread seal tape (plumber’s tape)
  • Removable mounting or poster putty
• Optional: A small applicator (such as a cotton swab for glue)
• Optional: Scissors or utility knife (if needed for cutting tape)

Instructions

Action: Turn off the iTalk2 and disconnect any power sources or accessories.
Expected Result: The iTalk2 should be powered down, ensuring safety while applying adhesive.

Action: Choose your adhesive option from the list (Elmer’s School Glue, hot glue, thread seal tape, or mounting putty).
Expected Result: You should have the adhesive ready for application.

Action: Apply a small amount of adhesive to the threads of the switch top (the part that connects to the iTalk2 body).
Expected Result: The threads should have a light coating of adhesive, ensuring it will hold without excess that could cause damage.

Action: Carefully screw the switch top onto the iTalk2 body.
Expected Result: The switch top should securely attach to the device with increased resistance due to the adhesive.

Action: Allow the adhesive to set according to the product instructions (for glue or putty, wait for at least 5–10 minutes).
Expected Result: The adhesive should dry or set, securing the switchtop in place.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• If you accidentally apply too much adhesive, Use a cloth or paper towel to wipe away any excess adhesive before it dries gently.
• For removable adhesives (such as mounting putty): Ensure the putty is applied in a way that allows you to remove the switch top if needed in the future.
• If the switch top still feels loose, Try adding a little more adhesive or consider using a different adhesive type for stronger resistance.
