I just discovered the best conversion glue ever. Rapid-Fix

rapid-fix.com

I do many conversions: changing heads, adding weapons, adding packs and pouches, putting on new hand, etc. Most of these are small joints. I have used 2 part epoxy, contact cement and gorilla super glue in the past but all have some drawbacks. This Rapid-Fix glue is easy to apply, fast drying, and very strong, not at all brittle as is some super glue. I have not used the welding powder yet, just the glue to do conversions.

Anyone else used it. It is expensive, up to $13 USD for the small size, but if you use it a drop at a time, it will go for many applications. Will not dry out in the bottle, either. Take a look at the site and give it a try.

I think the Gorilla Glue fast dry cyanoacrylate has a flexible quality too?

I bought some a few months ago. The welding powder fills gaps nicely.

I'll look for it, Bob, thanks!

If it works half as good as it says it is worth buying.

ancientsgamer, I too have been using Gorilla super glue since it came out. This new stuff is stronger and faster drying.

Which type, automotive, hardware?

I like this glue. I got the hardware stuff.
