Biskit Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've got a couple of Sennheiser G2 Handheld transmitters (EW100 ones, but I believe the 300 and 500 ones are the same design) and the base end caps have got very loose, such that they fall off very easily with handling the mic, or taking it out of a stand clip. I know this is a relatively common problem with these as they get older - but has anyone found a solution to this problem, even a partial one? I have bought new plastic caps to see if they would fit more tightly, but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions (apart from just live without the base bit!)??Many thanks!

palman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I sorted mine out by building up the little lumps on the mic body with a wonderfull stuff called Bondic, it’s a liquid plastic that’s cured using UV light. Still going strong after two years. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not come across the product you mention before, but it looks worth a try. Did you just apply it on top of the existing 'bumps' or remove them with a file and start again?

palman Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 It comes in a tube with a very fine applicator nozzle, I just built up the existing lumps.Its quite expensive, about £17 for a tube with a UV torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinE Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 the entire bottom bit of the casing including cap and window is still available, around £25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, and I would recommend to anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palman Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Glad to help, it's handy stuff. Although I think it does get a bit stiff in the tube over time if it's not used up after opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
