CAn't keep my rollers in
And my afro come has broke.....

Getting a bit sick of the rollers sliding down the shaft that they are on. The inside washer keeps working it's way past the little lip that is meant to keep it al in. It's becoming a right royal pain. Any ideas how to stop them? Thought about putting a dab of chemical metal to make the lip even bigger? OR is it a new jobby?

Don't think I could get a smaller washer to fit on the shaft as it's not round. The shaft has square sides.
