| 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. _________________ NEW STORAGE FACILITY IS FINALLY FINISHED CHRIS | |

| 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?? | |

| 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. | |
