Ask Roman Question re bridge saddle screw

[NHbluesman]

Do you have any advice on a simple way to tighten the fit of a loose saddle screw in one of the bridge saddles on a Les Paul reissue? The screw fits the saddle, but is a little loose in the grooves of the saddle and therefore rattles a bit. I'm hoping you've got a neat little trick for solving this. I still want the screw to be functional for intonation adjustments, just snug in the saddle. Thanks.

are you missing the wire retainer ??

trick is melted bee wax pour next to saddles

Then there is also these clips you can get at stew mac

The wire retainer isn't missing, but it's not tight against the culprit screw (G string). Someone else also suggested a little nail polish on the screw itself. Thanks for your suggestions!

bee wax you can take it off the guitar hit it witha heatgun or such & when you need adjusting hit it with a hot soldering iron. It also is not visable

I've posed this question in another thread, but haven't received an answer yet... is there a trick to installing these properly? I've attempted to place a couple of used clips onto some saddle screws with no luck...they just never seem to "lock."

I usually stick the screw in my ear and wiggle it around, there's some good old growth in there.
