This stuff is basically an acrylic-based floor polish, so any acrylic-base polish of any brand should work. An acrylic brush-on paint sealer like Decoart Duraclear will work too, perhaps better as it has less additives, but that's way more expensive. Super glue can work better, especially for the pop-apart ball joints that Transformers use, but it's riskier with joints you can't take apart.
@wesitron7 жыл бұрын
Yeah I fixed a lot of Transformers Animated ball joints with super glue. Worked pretty well, but on more complex joints, I find this to be much less risky. Thanks for sharing your insight!

Looks like this is a good choice. When I was a kid and had braces I used to use the tiny rubber bands they give you and wrap them tight around joints, problem is depending on the joint it can stick out like a sore thumb! Great video!

Polyurathane is the stuff in floor polish that works. You can buy pints of it at hardware stores for $18-$20. They make a triple thick polyurathane which might work better with one use instead of having to do miltiple coats. Also heard of some called polycrylic. Has a mixture of acrylic and polyurathane. Im going to try the polycyrlic next.

As long as they have Fewture Floor Polish in the formula, then they should be okay, but I believe Pledge owns the rights to that now. The Fewture ingredient adds a layer of acrylic to create more friction. Other people have used clear nail polish instead. You can also use super glue, but there is a much higher chance that the joint will become fused and render it useless.

Does the brand of the floor polisher ACTUALLY matter? I'm sure all brands of the same TYPE of product have the same general ingredients in them and do the same job for it's intended purpose. So a different brand of floor polisher should work the same on action figures as this right? Just asking because my local supermarket doesn't have this exact bottle and every video like this says you HAVE to use this one.

I can't say for sure, Jayden, because I haven't tested anything else. I think the defining characteristic of this polish is that it costs with a thin layer of clear acrylic. I hope that helps.
