From the responses i don't think it's the RDM shim that I'm using more my bad technique. It's a powerex shim,quite thick,weighs 125g,heard from someone in the Windforce shop they are the best

All my booms slip,period,just with a rdm shim on so much harder to reset! Anyway going to start using the shim on my Sdm masts for added protection. I tried it once and it does fit sdm masts too,can't remember if it slipped or not on the sdm, but being a tighter fit hopefully not.
