    I've got a couple of 3P figures whose hands are on pins and spin pretty freely so when they're holding weapons, they end up spinning down under the weight of the weapons (i.e. sword ends up pointing down at the ground). I'm aware of the future polish solution for joints, but the issue I'm having with the hands is that they're pretty flush on the wrist on some of these guys and it's tough to access where I would need to apply the polish. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found any alternative solutions, or a way to get in between the hands and wrist to apply the polish.

    You can still use future or varnish. Depending on how much you need you can put some on the end of a dropper, toothpick, or pointed qtip. I've used all three for fingers/hands depending on how much you need. You may need a few coats just let them dry and test in between.

    A needle and my go to glue. Just spin the hands slowly once applied to create a layer in the wrist.
