Hey guys,
I have been trying to change joints on regular zoids to movable joints like zoids blox or bionicles models. I did try to cut the small ball joint from bionicles and glue it on my zoids. But the glue never seems to be strong enough. What kind of glue should i use? Or is there different tricks that i can use to do this? Thanks

I use an assortment of glues, but the stuff that is hardest to work with has also had the best results: Loctite Stick-n-Seal. It's a transparent, thick glue with terrible vapors, but it will bond almost anything to anything else. it's slightly flexible when dried and extremely break resistant. I have whole customs built out of everything from styrene to polished steel, and this stuff holds them all together.

Thanks for the input. Does this glue work like superglue?
I have never use putty before. Do you think this might help too? And what type/kind of putty do you guys ussually use?

youre the guy asking me about my FLEX customs right??
well to stick on bionicle joints, i carve them up to leave me with justa ball&cup configuration i then use LOCTITE superglue..
make sure to score [scratch the surface with a knife] the blox parts first before gluing to give more adherrance.
ive personally havent tried real putty before but i do make some bond-o from time to time with talcum powder and superglue. =--==-=-=-=--==--=-=-=-=-=--=-=-==-=-
snow: ive had alot of times like that...
then theres this onetime involving my bed, lack of sleep and a full, uncapped tube of superglue..
long story short, i had to cut myself free from my bedcovers the following day.
