Default One way to reduce slop on the TD ball ends

Hi everyone,
like many of you already knows, the DEX410 ball ends have a bit too much of a play (slop), so I came up with this idea:
I use plumber's tape, like the picture shows, I already replaced all the TD ball ends and ball studs with other brands, but I used the tape on the servo ball ends and also as an experiment I drove the car for a couple of days with the stock ball ends with tape underneath, they worked really well. They are quite smooth ( not 100 % ) but definitely no play at all, and at least they lasted until today (since 3 days ago).
If you want to give it a try, hier is a picture.
Let me know what you think about it.
The tape is 0.10mm thick.
