Title: Fixing Windy / Summer Wings
Post by: ScotchHop on August 03, 2021, 12:29:21 AM
I recently picked up a Moonjumper with both original wings - but one has snapped off at the base, and a Glow missing both her wings.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips regarding trying to reattach the wing? I'm guessing a thin line of super glue probably would do the job, so maybe celotape to support?

For Glow; does anyone know of anyone in the EU or UK making replacement wings at the moment?

I want to get these ladies looking lovely again!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm pretty sure Pinkkittywinks makes replacements! Unless there isn't one for Glow.
I would think the tape might be enough.

Thank you TRTL :heart:

I make and sell replacement wings for all the Summer and Sindy wing ponies, including the Argentina variants (thought I need to restock a set).

If you check the stories on my Instagram, I have a tutorial for how to replace the wings :)

Super glue won't hold the wing as there needs to be 100% contact and there is too little surface between the two areas that need to be held together. Sellotape can become a sticky mess over time on the wings :( If only one wing is broken off, I would super glue a tab of clear plastic (from a plastic fruit container or take away box) on the end/edge of the end with a slight over lap and slide the tab you have made into slot that next the wing peg.

Awesome! I had seen the etsy shop but hadn't put two and two together that it was you.
I'll definately make an order for some new wings. They look so nice, maybe the best thing to do for MoonJumper is to give her entirely new ones.
Thanks!

My user name/pony persona and my Etsy/FB/Instagram names are quite different, so you can be forgiven for not recognising me ;)

I have a bum wingless Cool Breeze coming and I ordered a pair of wings from you the next day. I am really looking forward to getting them. They all look magnificent.

And here she is! Before and after's below!
I'm delighted. Moon Jumper looks like new. She's a present for my sister in law, and I think she will be pleased.

Glow will have to wait another day, as she also needs a rehair, but I can't wait to see her with lovely new wings as well!
