The idea here is to make the joint thicker in hopes of filling up the cavity better since the moment it pop off some plastic in the cavity/joint has been strip off reducing surface contact which in turns making it loose. Cement once dries leaves no traces by itself, it just melts the plastic in order to bond it to other surfaces hence cement in this context serve no purpose. Super glue when dries form a layer over the plastic in essence making it thicker which is what we want. Use super glue if u wan to try this out.

No guarantee though.
If u decided to permanently glue the thing then cement is the better idea. Super glue once dry is brittle.

i suggest using UHU. UHU dries a little rubbery, making joints tighter. super glue leaves a nasty white-fog-thing residue. bad for anything that's not white. i've opted for UHU to reinforce joints for several years now. no issues.

well the problem here pertains to the wrist joint of which is hidden once connected, so white residue or not it doesnt really matter in this case since its not visible upon completion.

but yes i agree with u UHU is a much better choice then super glue, its much easier to handle.

my main reasoning is, UHU don't dry up in the tube like super glue would. doh.gif my current UHU tube has lasted close to a year now. i don't remember how many super glue tubes i've lost simply because it has harden in the tube, after one small use. mad.gif . so yeah, UHU, saves money too thumbup.gif .

My advise is, buy MG 00 Raiser first. If wanna have a bit of discount, wait the upcoming Litt Tak Warehouse Sale. I estimate (base on previous warehouse sale date) they will start on 26th - 30th March 2014.

Warehouse prices compared to the hobby shops, normally not much difference +\- RM 10, but compared to departmental stores, very big difference.

i put it in a cupboard, which is fairly room temperature most of the time. wasn't expecting "cool place" actually means below room temp.....seriously, did not expect that. blink.gif . for most stuff, "cool place" is actually room temp, as in "not hot place". "keep refrigerated" usually means "fridge".

well, thanks for the advice. thumbup.gif
