Hey, I know there are ways to harden soft plastic figures, but what about soft, bendy stretch figures, like the packs that have 20 in them at Halloween and easter? Thanks!

I didn't even know there was a way to harden soft plastic figures! How do you do that? Tom |

Leave them in the sun for a few months or years, maybe? |

There are several chemicals which will also 'harden' the soft plastics, but experiment as each one does different things. Some just dissolve the plastic into a messy goo. |

make a mold and cast it in resin or tin. but buy and destroy a soft one for each copy you make. |

I've had some success by spreading a thin, even coat of super glue in the exterior. This seems to work best if the stretchy material is somewhat porous. It is not so good if there is much fine detail that can be obscured by the glue. |
