Does anyone know of some home remedy for increasing friction in a lever faucet? Like this kind:
Mine is loose so that a lot of the time it just somewhat slowly drops by itself while I'm using it (as though a ghost were turning it off, lol. Perhaps it wants to save water ), particularly when it's turned to the hot side. I want to somehow stop this from happening. Is there some kind of product or homemade solution that could help this problem? Something I can maybe spray up there where the joint is or...? Like the opposite of WD40 but not glue, since it still has to have motion? Because apparently there isn't anything mechanical I can do with tools. Thanks!
Know it's a bit late and you may have already solved this problem, but it could be as simple as needing to tighten the mounting screw. That would be the screw holding the handle to the rest of the assembly. May be helpful to find installation instructions for your specific faucet before you go about disassembling it though. If that doesn't fix it, there might be some lubricants in there that is causing it to slide easier. If it is excessive lubricants, try wiping as much of it away as you can.
Not too late, I continue to procrastinate on this, or was waiting for someone to helpfully respond. So thanks! I will have a look. I did have someone come in a while ago because the base of the faucet was coming loose from the sink (don't know what kind of loser installed it in the first place, lol), and I told him the problem, and he didn't fix it, so I assumed a mechanical fix wasn't possible. But now that I think about it, that guy might have simply sucked too. We're talking about the kind of people a massive national management property company hires, so I don't have much faith in most of them. I'll get under there and have a look at the possibilities.

Had my right eye scan in my bedroom about 12 months ago , it was amazing the gold and black laser started from my inner eye near my nose to my outer eye near my temple, I sat put and just watched the gold laser and noticed it came clear aside from some black smoke detected and I think it's the same black smoke when I was with jervis when it was following me but it was all nice and spot on... Did I mention the part that nobody did it...

Awesome and concrete proof my husband has officially turned me into a "car woman":
Was watching Arlo Guthrie doing Coming into Los Angeles from Woodstock, and much as I love all of that shit, was more focused on the beauty-mobiles in the background.

Incidentally (from an incidental Canadian...), my daughter speaks German and she was killing herself laughing at the incongruity between what the actual dialogue is and the captions.
