What do you use to bond broken plastic?

[SkyWarp91]

What about that putty mold they sell at hobby / board game stores? The ones that cost $7ish. You can use that to bridge the two parts together, yet it'll leave your toy with a green chunk of putty there but surely it could be painted over or left as a reminder of the design flaw in this toy.

Thanks guys, got a few ideas now. Will have a think about which one to try.

Tabias Prime I feel lucky that I got so much use out of mine before this happened, having it happen within 5 minutes of opening I reckon I would've taken mine back...

Good find on the Wiki, I didn't realise this was such a common issue with this figure.

used in very small amouts super glue is pretty good, though does stain if you're not careful.

there is also a clear dry, two partepoxy from selly's you can use, also sparingly. I have used it once or twice, it's very strong, fast drying, just need to be vry careful not to get it on anything you don't want stuck to something else.

I could of taken it back, but in the end it wasn't worth the time, and trying to find another one at the time was almost impossible, but with 12 years worth of sticking thing together with exopys and fibreglass, it was a simply fix for me, I probably did a better job than Hasbro.... , but I certainly more careful with my Junkheap...

You would think Hasbro would have made such fragile parts from metal but then again plastic is no doubt cheaper...

I understand what you mean about finding another figure...

Out of all the materials that superglue bonds, it is my experience also that the best results are on flesh.

you would be surprised at the long term weakness of metal in small thin parts that have high frequency low loads when compared to plastic.

look up metal fatigue.

I use a 2-part glue, Selleys Plastics Glue it comes with a primer and adhesive

I use super-glue and a prayer
