Default TBB issues, I have the samco TBB, but it keeps coming off

Any advise on how to solve this? I know about the APR Bi-Pipe, I just want to know what other options I have.

Default Clean the TB mounting surface and the inner part of the TBB with brake cleaner

Then spray the TB mounting surface with hair spray. Then reinstall the TBB. It will be wet at first and it will help slide the TBB on. But when the hairspray dries, it dries tacky... which will keep the TBB from popping off. Also get a better clamp, so you can really tighten the TBB on.

Default I´m going to change the clamp, I did the procedure with hairspray

but the TBB came off again. Then I noticed that the clamp tighens to the limit, without really securing the TBB. I will try this, see if it works

Thanks
