Best Way to Glue on a Pony Head?
« on: June 13, 2015, 08:27:44 PM »
This question sounds so scary and weird! Lol
But I have been struggling with this myself. I have some G1 ponies that have had their heads completely cut from their plugs. I have tried gorilla glue and hot glue, and the heads still pop right off. I was hoping someone here might have a good technique/ know of a good glue brand to use that won't send heads rolling. It is terrifying to me to think of sending babies to their new homes and adopted parents, only to have their heads pop off in transit D;! Thanks so much in advance! :heart:

I always use super glue.  I think the brand I use is called Locktite.  As far as I know none of my custom's heads have come off.

Thanks! Approximately how long do you usually wait for it to dry??

It dries pretty fast like within a few minutes. I also use the same glue :3

Thank you thank you! I have been using Gorilla glue and it's awful. Takes years to dry and their heads will still pop right off with light handling D:

Yup yup dries fast and hard. I use it for pewter minis. Just be careful around hair as it IS  a superglue.

I use superglue too. It dries really fast but I usually leave it sit for a day or so without messing with it so it will completely dry. Read the bottle, it will tell you how long.

I've never had any luck with gorilla glue either. The best glue I've found is Loctite brand for vinyl, fabric, and plastic. Dries super fast and isn't runny
