Hi,
Need some opinion from you guys. My wife broke my Win-chan PVC Figures' tentacle on top of its head. What do you recommend to stick it back. The tentacle is quite thin. Thanks. |

The color might not match after touching up. Do you guys think those off shelf DIY epoxy glue will work? (Those that come with 2 tubes that you'll need to mix the compound). I am not very sure and dont dare try because afraid that it might damage the paint and PVC material. Comments? |

Hmm, i use super glue to reattach my Tomoe's hakama ribbon, and it's ok so far. For small parts, just dont put too much superglue, or it will overflow and may peel the paint if you rub the overflowed area
