Hi Doug, I have had this on many occasion, my first experience was, what the heck I'm going to do now! I have tried thread, wax, rubber band and others, best that works 100% of the times are the (right size fishing line) and my favorite plumbers tape (wrap it on the threaded core) I keep a roll in my tool bag. I hope this helped.
