Hello,
Does anyone have any experience using a wax or removable adhesive on hinges and joints, so they hold position better?

If so, any suggestions on material? I have some Lego kits I picked up second hand and the articulations have more play than I'd like.

or other similar items. also i think the name may have changed. still own the same bottle from 2010.

best thing about it is that it's not superglue so it makes a pretty good temporary adhesive. if you make a mistake, you add a nice shine to your toys. also it smells good. also lego joints are weak because the c-clips are usually bent out. a little coat of it will help though

Thanks anon!

This worked great on my Clover Polynian, and it worked just as well on a couple of Figmas that had loose knee joints. Also worked on ball/socket hips, and neck joint on an Ultra ACT.

Came in here to post this

Additional information: you can use Windex to remove it if you need to, even after it's dry. Just soak the piece in a cup for a few minutes, then rinse with hot water.

Don't listen to this fucktard. It doesn't work anymore.

Never tried it on joints, but I have used maple syrup to shore up an iffy connection or make a minifig stand on a flat surface. All you need do is soak in warm water to remove.
