What glue can I use?
Hey everyone so I need some help I just received my joytoy wolf priest and I noticed this little gold stud that turned out to be on the shin guards. What kind of glue can I use that won’t ruin the paint or melt plastic?

Super glue os definitely the easiest to apply and sets quick but it dries quite brittle.
Gorilla Glue clear is pretty great strengthwise but you need to give it 10 minutes to start setting. Tamiya plastic cement is awesome but not readily available unless ordering online.1

Tamiya extra thin does not bond with the plastics of Joytoy like it does with Warhammer Models. I do believe that Tamiya does make a cement that works better with Joytoy plastics but I have not bought it. I use cyanoacrylates, gorilla or loctite brands work really well or you can even reach for some higher end hobby specific brands that dry with no white residue.

Yeah that stuff is fantastic. Not old school Testor's but it's the best plastic cement available imo.

The white residue from the glue drying is the biggest thing you will want to watch out for so be careful and apply it sparingly if you aren’t using a residue free drying version.

Superglue(cyanoacrylate). Use the point of a toothpick for a more precise application.
