Fixing loose joints.

Post by Kestrix » Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:17 am

I've noticed a few complaints about loose joints and using nail polish to correct it. While I haven't attacked my Fubuki yet I can that Pledge Future Shine floor polish is one of the greatest purchases anyone who owns any kind of toy with a loose joint can get. I've used it to fix who knows how many loose joints on my Transformers. You can find it pretty cheap at any sort of drug or grocery store. It's basically a clear plastic-safe paint.

Just thought I'd share it with y'all.

If you do use the Pledge Future Floor polish to fix your Fubuki, I would like to hear how it turns out...

Minis players have used Future for years. Mixes with paints, water soluble, and makes a great (if shiny) wash.
Havent thought about using it for joint tightening but it should be the same concept as using clear nail polish.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have so many old things with loose joints and sockets, including an exia whose arm keeps falling off.
