sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to re tighten loose limbs like legs and arms?

I’ve heard of people using super glue on the joints and then moving the joint until it dries. I’ve also heard PJ talk about placing rubber bands from braces around shoulder joints to tighten those up. I’ve never done the glue before so I’m not really sure how well that works so I’d be careful with that and look up more info on it

I have heard people buying floor cleaner and using it on figures like SH Figure Arts, Bandai, and DC/Marvel Figures.
Some people swear by it. I have yet to buy some. I did use some super glue on a loose foot joint of Dana Brooke. Still a little loose, but not like before.

I recently essentially did the same thing as the video except with mod podge and it worked great!

I did use some super glue on a loose foot joint of Dana Brooke. Still a little loose, but not like before. This, all day long. Some glues will begin to flake off after enough movement, so if you’re a display person, super glue should be fine. But, I found it took a few more applications to get the job done. When I tried Pledge (used to advertise future floor as the active ingredient) one shot of a couple drops was all I needed. I have some large, heavy Transformers with diecast in them that couldn’t stay upright until I used a little Pledge. Now those loose hips don’t move unless I move them, and it’s been about a decade. |
