Hi Hat (no pun intended)
Before you go to BobJ's method, try cleaning off the threads on both pieces with some alcohol or laquer thinner. They may have had some lubricant applied to them, prior to your purchase, or at worst case design, the threads are just plain worn. If that does not work, then give BobJ's method a try.
