Re: Is there anyway to fix the stylus?

damn I can't bend mine. The one I had before was light and this one is kind of heavy and really hard to bend.

I've had the same issue with no luck bending the metal part. If you insist on bending the metal part, put it on a vice to lock it down well, then use your hand or some other object to give it a slight bend--STAYING AWAY FROM THE PLASTIC TOP, because it will surely snap.

The thing that has worked best for me is to put a very small drop of super glue where near the top of the metal just before the plastic begins. Rough up the metal a little with something sharp. Let it dry overnight--it needs to fully dry. Then, if your little drop is too big, get some sandpaper or a woman's nail file and file it down a bit.

To clarify, rough up the metal BEFORE putting the drop of super glue on. Also, I've found the non-gel, liquid super glue works best.

And get REAL super glue, that dollar tree sh*t doesn't adhere to anything.

Agree with Jabu 100%. Loctite Glass Glue is one of the best for gluing on a smooth surface, though most recently I've seen it in gel form--it will still work. Just gotta remember to let it air dry for a long time before using it (sanding, etc.) It's a little more expensive than most super glue, but great to have around the house.
