Gluing Eartips to IEMs

I've had trouble with eartips sliding off the IEM while pulling the IEM out of my ear canal a few times now (the eartip stays stuck in my ear canal). I've thought about gluing the the tips onto the IEM, but I'm wondering if there's anything I should look out for while doing this, and also maybe if anyone has any suggestions for the type of glue to use.

 

Thanks!

Are you using the right size tips for the IEM?

well when your tips wear out you will have some issues removing them. Also if they are falling out then you probably are not using the correct size for them.

Yes, they were the tips that came with the IEM. I think it might have been a bit of user error in pulling them out when this has happened, but I just don't really want to allow for the possibility for it to happen again, because I had to go to the walk-in clinic to get the tip removed from my canal, haha.

Will hurt resale, that's for sure. Try using a teeny tiny amount of blutak to coat the stem, then slip on the tip. Used this method to attach Sony hybrids to the Apple IEMs, or else it would almost always fall off.

Shoe goo. Just a little bit, it will allow the items to be separated pretty easily and is soft if you get crazy and get it somewhere it shouldn't be.
