Josh, I’m hoping you may have some experience with the following issue and some suggestions/ advise. After seeing this mod a year or so ago I purchased one at Harbor Freight and attached it the my PP2. It worked quite well. BUT, it then sat dormant for a couple of months. When I went to use it again I could not get the suction to stick to a surface. The only surface I have only had it attached to (when it worked) is the granite base that came with the PP2 package. Here’ s what I’ve tried: cleaning the granite, cleaning the suction (rubber) cup, rotating the handle both directions, made sure the suction cup was lined up with the base (fit inside the metal lips on the base). I can not get it to hold to a smooth (or any) surface.. Any ideas anyone?
Now… Credit goes to someone online but it might work who knows!
“Two fold solution!
Clean the tile with alcohol to remove all residue. Clean the suction cup with alcohol but immediately wash with water and dry with hair dryer to evaporate the alcohol. Alcohol mixes with water and will easily evaporate, you don’t want to remove the elasticity of the suction cup. If it has become hard it must be replaced. Place the suction cup in a bow or cup with some water microwave it, use wisdom, not to hot about 30 seconds to make it soft and pliable again. While it’s damp and warm press it to the cleaned area it will draw tight and remain till you want to remove it. Remember once they lose their elasticity or are to small for the object they hold up, they must be replaced with a new or larger one.”
