Hi guys I need some help. The nut pivot on my ZT0620 keeps getting loose after several flips.
I usually use teflon tape on all my knives and have so far worked great for conventional pivot, but applying it on this nut pivot is pretty tricky.

So far have tapped a second tape recently, up and around the male screw, and after tightening it, using a chisel to scrape off excess tape on the top of the nut. Hope this application works better than previously, with the tape just tapped around the screw and not covering the male screw previously.

Do you guys have any tricks to keep this specific ZT pivot in place well? Would appreciate it!
 
Blue Locktite--#242. If that does not take care of it you may need a new screw or pin. Are you wrapping the tape in the correct direction?
