Title: Best Way to Glue on a Pony Head?
Post by: MonstarNomNom 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:

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

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:
