Default Rest noise

I have a screw in plastic rest similar to a stick-on on my recurve , and lately the arrow shaft has been making a squeak either as I draw or on release . Is there anything I can do to quiet it ? I've tried string wax , and a dab of peanut oil , neither quiet it for long . I even tried burnishing the contact surface , still no good . I can't shoot off the shelf to save my life , and I can't figure out why this rest squeaks when the stick-ons before it didn't unless it has something to do with the double sided tape on the previous rests . Should I add a felt washer to the shaft that connects it to the riser ?
