Fixing Polycap joints?
« on: October 25, 2009, 05:58:52 pm »
Is there a way to make joints with a polycap not-loose? XP I don't know how to explain it, but it's like the joint is too loose, so is there a way to tighten it?

You can try putting a little bit of white ("Elmer's") glue in there.

Hi Jay,

A friend of mine actually posted this question to Kawaguchi Sensei when he came down to Singapore during the gundam Fiesta. What he advised was add a small piece of plastic (plastic bag kind) into the joints. Not only does it prevent the joints from wearing down but also makes it tighter  ;D

Hope this helps!

What I do for my kits is put a bit of super glue on the piece and let it dry. Connect it back together and bam no more loose joints XD Hope that helped. :]

yea, I put super glue on an individual polycap's peg then when it dries that's when I snap it all back together with the plastic parts.

I like to brush a few coats of FFA on both parts and put them together once they have dried. It has worked pretty well for me.
