curious if there is something that I can use that would be the opposite of wd40 essentially I want a spray that raises friction between two moving parts instead of lowering it, sorry if this isnt the place to ask this I just couldnt think of anywhere better

Im hobbling together one out of scrap for shits and giggles not worried about sound more of an art piece but I want it to be somewhat functional, that being said the tuning peg is tightened but its worn down with age so it spins a little more willingly than I want

Imo I would replace the peg entirely or wield that shit in place if your just planning for show in your art.

Cut a little wedge out of an aluminum can and cram it into the finger screw bushings.

The post shouldn't be able to unwind the finger screw because it's a screw and gear mesh. The gear cant turn the screw. I guess maybe if there's a ton of slop?

Wrap thin paper around the screw

Use feflon tape. You can wrap it around as many times as needed and it’s completely removable. Oh and it’s dirt cheap >>1495213

Wd40 is kerosene and is a solvent, not a lubricant

Just put some silicone or RTV gasket maker on the join, completely removable too.

wd was designed to be a water repellent. That and removing some of the rust is about a it gets done.

Friction is dependent on the material types, pressure, and heat. So big tires get more friction because they disperse more heat.

You could allow your parts to oxidize which imo would be the opposite of wd40. Oxidize or choose poorer bearings. Add a friction increasing rosin. Remove lubricants if present. Choose different materials for the parts.

use a dab of Elmers glue. that stuff is stronger than you would think

Use blue loctite
With the string off, put a small drop of it on.
Once it dries, break it loose and it will leave a white powdery substance in there that will increase friction.
