(& Super Glue)

nHeptane which is used as a rubber cement thinner, and sold in artists stores will work as an activator and helps the super glue hold onto the soft plastic. It's the same stuff Loctite uses on their super glue that comes with the little bottle of activator, only buying in bulk, a couple ounces, is much cheaper.

I pin the figures using #8 guitar string. Very strong, very cheap, and one string lasts for a long time. Perfect for head swaps. Push one end of the string into the body of the figure, cute the guitar string (wire) about 3mm long and then coat with gap filling super glue. Push the head onto the pin / neck. Works very well.

Merry Christmas to you all.
