| Poor old Rufus Stone has a left hand that keeps falling off.
The hand has become detached from the peg.
Any ideas as to what glue would be best to use ? I'm thinking epoxy would do it... hopefully it would work on both the hard plastic peg and the softer rubberised hand. _________________ THEY BOUGHT ME A BOX OF TIN SOLDIERS I THREW ALL THE GENERALS AWAY I SMASHED UP THE SERGEANTS AND MAJORS NOW I PLAY WITH MY PRIVATES ALL DAY.

| It can be a common problem for the grippers to come away from the fuzzy head type hand, where the gripper slips off the peg that goes inside the hand. I usually use super glue or bostic, just not too much as the glue pushes back out, and you do not want to restrict the hands movement. However, if it is a EE type hand, or kfg, I do not know?? _________________  |

| Ah yes, a small blob of glue on the stem, then push the hand back on and leave to dry  , Job done mate _________________  |

| Yeah, I use a gel type super glue which is bit easier to control, but does take a bit longer to dry. If you do get some in the joint, just keep moving it till the glue dries... it'll end up stiffer, but at least movable!  _________________ RalphMe? Well, I live life vicariously! My Action Man?

| It would probably depend on the size of the peg vs the size of the hole. |

Yeah.. that's what I was thinking too. Im rather hoping that someone else has already done it and will be along soon to tell us that it's easy  _________________ THEY BOUGHT ME A BOX OF TIN SOLDIERS I THREW ALL THE GENERALS AWAY I SMASHED UP THE SERGEANTS AND MAJORS NOW I PLAY WITH MY PRIVATES ALL DAY.
