    I recently bought Devon Home Super Strength on a whim thinking any Devon is a good Devon for plastic. Later I learned that they had a plastic meld variant. I know for sure the hardware store I picked it up at doesn't have that variant. Is this version OK?

    I was trying to turn CW Battle Core Optimus Prime into Ultra Magnus today. Soaked it in Rubbing Alcohol to get the paint off. And when I transformed him both of his arms broke off!

    Am thankful for this thread. Will look at my local stores to see if they have any of the ones mentioned here.

    Hey, I know I'm resurrecting a thread that's been inactive for quite some time, but I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for hairline cracks for cylindrical post joints (basically a cylinder inside another cylinder for rotation)? I'm asking since I found that my mp-52's ankle joint has a crack, and it doesn't matter how much vallejo premium reducer I put in between the joints to create more stiffness because of the hairline crack. Definitely would appreciate the help!

    Plastic cement maybe? I got a bottle of Mr. Cement I've been meaning to use to fix the cracks on some Combiner Wars ports and a crack on the foot of a ROTF Mindwipe. As long as you keep in mind not to let the joint accidentally fuse to the inner cylinder and lock the joint in place.

    Mr. Cement huh? I'll check that out! Thanks! For now I used a little dab of gorilla glue, but in case that doesn't work in the long run, other solutions will have to be considered
