Earlier this year I acquired the eFX Mark IX tricorder and I've been pretty thrilled with it. However, the flip cover is very weighty and if the tricorder is held in any position to allow it, it will just fall open. It's a pet peeve of mine for some reason, and the only disappointment I had with the replica. Is there any reasonable way to make it stick better, or better yet to create an actual ratcheting effect? I'm 100% new to props, so sorry if this is a ridiculous question. I know if it was feasible I assume eFX would have done it, but it would still be cool to have. 
Also, I have the Master Replica's First Contact phaser, but it's taken some wear over the past 8 years or so. What's the best type of paint to use to touch it up, and the best way to color match it? And for some reason, the very front emitter is a little loose. Nothing horrible, but if you grab it you can wiggle it side to side slightly. Is there a way to tighten that up?
Thanks for indulging a noob!
