 Zag plane questions How does one make the propellers and helmet stay on without ruining the toy value? Unfortunatly they arent made to just 'snap on'.
Thanx in advance.

There was already a topic for this, Zag plane or Mechagodzilla plane. I think it was called Zap glue or some other glue (that will not harm/melt vinyl like crazy or super glue). Probably a micro-drop of whatever will do, even the blue tack stuff as long as its not being used as a a real toy or for outdoor adventures.

you could probably use epoxy too ... i have one that's specialized for use with plastics which i've used to repair a couple of things and it works pretty well.

Yeah, I got too fuckin excited when I got mine. I actually have a vinyl epoxy spray in my garage that would have worked perfectly. Just spray the tip and insert.

Boogers. That sounds like a winner, you can always wash them off later.

blu-tack is that blue putty-type sticky stuff to hang posters with...i also use it on the feet of unruly figures that refuse to stand...it is magic,,,does not stain vinyl and never drys,,,so you can disassemble without worry...
the string,,, i just looped one piece of string around each plane wing and each of its arms.... like a harness...real thin black sewing string that is hard to see....

Zap A Gap is the glue you trying to remember.
You could probably use museum wax or any type of wax for that matter. It is similer to the Blue Gu JB referred to
