The top and bottom were coming apart already so I took them completely apart, cleaned out the old epoxy/hair, and reglued them:

I used an old wine cork and epoxied it down to the base of the green portion:

then using a dremel and various bits I ground it down to get the correct loft height. *note - a bonus to using a cork is the nice wine smell that you get when you start heating up/cutting down the cork. It was Cabernet if I remember correctly*
