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.

Super glue also can. Just make sure dont overflow lah

But super glue is stiff & hard. I'm just afraid it will break again because the tentacle is soft.

Sanding PVC figure?...the paint will come off lor
*
Erk...ya la. I cannot sand my PVC le. Its prepainted & dont wanna mess around with paint. 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?
