screw-on spikes keep falling off my jacket

Ok, so I'm putting a bunch of spikes onto my jacket but every day about 3 or 4 of the spikes fall off. Only the screw part remains. I'm sick and tired of it and I need a solution before the shit starts costing me lots of money. Anyone have a solution?

I haven't used screw on spikes...i've only used the kind that tear up my fingers that you "clamp" into the material. do you think a small dab of glue inside the "female" end before you screw it on to the post would help? and I do mean a small dab...other wise your spike might look like they were having an accident. =(

Yeah I'm gonna try a hot glue gun. I bought loc-tite and it works awesome, but dries so damn fast! I couldn't even screw on the spikes before it was dry.
