Here's a tutorial. I prefer nail polish myself, easier to wipe off if you get it in the wrong place.

Never tried silicone, but I can see how that would work as well. I'm just a little concerned about the retro construction loosening with no good way to correct it.

The Futura floor finish or whatever it's called now takes a lot longer, but gets good safe results. For the new figures it's safer on the plastic tee, and can be delivered to and inside the leg joint's ball slot. Or the leg can be removed after heating. I don't think there will be an issue with tightness, although I worry about the durability of that plastic tee over time... |

Cool. I've never been to stores that far west. Do you have Lawrence in your area coverage (KU, home of the Jayhawks, for those unfamiliar)? I use to up until this year when my niece finished undergrad. Don't remember if I ever found anything down there. They get stuff, but not stuff I want.
Also a trip to Mission KS, new local b&r might be worth it to you if you need vintage Joes. |

I've used future before but not on joints. If you have a clear part that has gotten scratched up or hazy, you can dip it in future the let it dry on a paper towel and it makes it nice and clear transparent again.

Also, no fix is truly permanent right? Not with products available like goo gone, acetone, paint thinner, dewormers, and a stock load of exacto blades... |

Lawrence is maybe 25 30 minutes from here. I don't get their often but there is a vintage toy store I've been meaning to check out. Just never got around to it. Mocking bird lane or something like that. If you ever get to the Topeka area, there's a shop called Jayhawk collectibles. They get quite a bit of 80s Gi Joe and Star wars in.
I'm set with vintage figures, unless they've got a Mego 12 inch Magnetic Batman, loose but minty. I'm still waiting for a retro re-release of that one, forty years out. |
