Are there any remedies for tightening up old knees?
Does anyone have an 82 Steeler they will part with? All I need is steeler, silver grand slam and viper pilot and will have every figure from the first 5 years complete. Thanks for any help. |

super glue worked in to the joints normally tightens up loose limb joints. but make sure you work it in till it sets.

Assuming you can even take the leg apart. Some older figures have some pretty tight and rusted screws.

I'm going to rename my Helix figure Loose Legs in honor of this thread. She too will have problems sticking her knees together.

Guys, try "Zap-A-Gap" . It's like a super glue. Just dab a little in the joint and then work the joint so it doesn't lock the joint in place.
It acts as a filler, and does a great job. |

I take the leg apart and put some clear nail polish on (sometimes 2 coats). Works great and not as risky as glue.
