Only thing I know of is clear nail polish.
If I ever have a loose joe, I just put a tiny bit on their joints,let it dry and presto tight joe again. |

Have you taken the leg apart? Usually when the knee is really loose, it means the knee peg has broken inside. If it's broken, glue the peg back in place, then put the leg back together. If it's not broken, then go a head an put some clear nail polish on the knee peg, let it dry, then put the leg back together.

2nd option.
well i guess first would be try to tighten the leg screw. if its tight take some super glue. i like krazy glue personaly. drop a drop or two in the knee joint and work it back and forth continuously. DO NOT DROP THE GLUE AND LET IT SET WITHOUT WORKING THE JOINT OR IT WILL FUSE. after id guess 30 seconds or so it should be good as new
