Default Loose antenna base?

I am using screw-on antennas on my Ramsey DF rig.

The threaded (female) barrels keep coming loose in the antenna tube --
where they appear to be locked by a groove and four tiny punches in
the tube.

I have tried solder, but it does not adhere.

Any other suggestions?

I don't think so. It is not conductive.

Maybe conductive epoxy would work, tho.

This would not be going on the threads. Rather, it has to bond the
[unthreaded] outside of female threaded collar to the antenna tubing.
