Question

I don't know if this is the right place to ask.
Can I use crazy glue for gluing the tops and hatchback parts to my Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen?

[Time Traveller]

not the best idea. cyancryalates (super glue, crazy glue, etc) tend to eat plastic over time. Clear plastics (without filler... the stuff that makes plastics stronger) would probably go sooner than the rest, not to mention the discoloration would be easy to see. unfortunately, this means the datsun transformers' windows are very difficult to get any sort of repair.

Interesting info.

Try epoxic glue. It will make an addition of plastic to the whole thing, making it removable later, while superglues and such will "melt" the plastic.

Will that work for rubber tires as well?

No, rubber tires cracked is terminal. The closest I have got is with a neoprene based glue, but anyway when the rubber starts to lose elasticity there's nothing you can do. It's easier to get a replacement from a junker or a cheap pull-back toy car, of a similar size, although it won't look exactly the same.

To help preserve older figures tires I take them off and soak them in Armour-All for a little bit. It seams to really help them keep there elasticity. As for repairing a broken tire. I have had some success with clear Silicone sealant (the kind used in bathrooms). It's not a permanant fix but it works better than glueing them.

simple talk powder can help you conserve them in good shape,

for repairing i'd go with jose on this one

I have another question. This board keeps telling me to resubmit my message when I post messages; mutiple times because it says invalid session. I have deleted my temp internet files and my cookies Saturday. Rebelscum don't give me this much trouble. Sometimes this site logs me out. It reminds me of rebelsquadrons. That place is hard to log on sometimes.

There's a thread about this somewhere. I think someone said to use the log-in at the bottom of the page? You are using Firefox, right?
