Best brand of Glue for customizing?...
 
...so my customizing is more like "modding" in that I'm looking to tighten the elbow and knee joints of some of my Marvel Universe figures, and I'd just like to know everyone's opnions on the best brand of glue for figure fixes and where I might find it...

Would really appreciate the tips, thanks all! :)

I find almost any crazy clue does the trick. Just make sure its a squeezable bottle, not a button push to release glue case. All you would need is a bit on the joint and keep it moving at a speed you feel good with and watch magic happen. I fixed a 2 Dollar Series 1 Marvel Legends Captain America by doing that.

If you want super hold stuff especially for adding pieces on to a figure, use Gorilla Glue or Sumo glue, little pricey round 8-10$ but a little goes a long way and 1 bottle would last for a ton of customizing projects. Aside from that the normal Crazy glue brand works great, try looking for the newer types such as fast drying, or my favorite the type that doesn't stick to skin! Nothing worse then spending 20 mins scrapping glue off your hands.

PS the stronger the hold the stronger the fumes so make sure to use a mask if you can or at least keep the room ventilated with a fan or open the windows.

Sage advice

clear nail polish for tightening joints.

I use loctite extra time super glue, it's pretty cheap and it's the best I've tried

Boba Fettuccini 08-07-2011 06:28 PM

I find most of the recommended brands don't hold well. However, I find Testors Super Glue works incredibly well, and instantly. It's the kind of stuff that causes paper to smoke and kills skin though... but it's pretty great. Comes in a tiny white bottle with a huge pouring stem.

Mastersteef 08-07-2011 07:15 PM

Thanks for the tips everyone! :)

And, I forgot to mention in my original post that the glue I've been using is Gorilla Glue Super Glue (its in a squeeze bottle) and it works awesome for bonding on piece to another if you don't intend to move it again. But when I put a drop inside my DCUC Skallox knee joint and worked it around while it dried, it started turning all white and flaky. :(

i use dollar store super glue, like 5 for a buck, i do alot of rust/snow/barnacle look so i go through the glue, it holds up and dries fast
