Patriot Prime Repairs: Fixing Loose Figure Joints With Pledge Floor Polish

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Quick Shine is comparable to Pledge. Here's a link if you want to try it. amzn.to/3qiJRso

[@eliaschica2736]

thanks men for the tutorial this one is the same as pledge or less efective?

[@scourge_creations]

Have you used quick shine before?

[@thecheese4255]

This product has been discontinued and if you find someone selling it, it is an outrageous price! My wife helped find a comparable replacement from a company called Holloway.

[@darkhawk7986]

I've used clear nail polish on Tracks hips and knees. It worked good

[@DelAragon808]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for doing this. Countless reviews I've heard "use floor polish" on loose figures but never have they explained what kind of floor polish or how to use it, but you did and you explained how to with various joints and connections. Thumbs way up! 👍👍👍

[@inazumanfrash]

I used the same bottle of pledge for over 10 years and it still works good.

[@MDestron2282]

I'm really glad you finally made this video. Every time you mentioned, or other youtubers mentioned, you'd have to put some floor polish on a figure to tighten it up I always immediately thought, "But hoooooowwwww?!?!?!?!" I have quite a few guys that are ready to get this treatment now. Thanks for this.

[@RemixOfTheVoid]

Dude, seriously, thank you for this. I have figures with loose joints that are on pins, and I thought I might have to take them out, which would've been annoying because I don't have the tools for that lol.

[@940351579]

As soon as I saw you fixed Fangry's legs with it I was sold that this would work.

[@cropdustcaptain3059]

Thanks for this! Nice to see it done on video.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Glad you liked it!

[@RazyelKayneReviews]

It does seem to be a better 'get your money's worth' deal than Kiki. Thanks for sharing this!

[@celesader2029]

Our main man giving us more tips and tricks! What a great vid

[@benjamingwhitcomb]

I use Pledge with a bottle cap and cheap paint brushes from the dollar store. I will try the Q-Tips and see if they are any different.

[@ComicsyCafe]

This looks pretty good. I just picked up Leader 1 for my Armada Megs and the legs are so loose on the little minicon. Need to try this out!

[@gordondlewisjr]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@gordondlewisjr]

U r 1 of the reviewers I follow religiously

[@richardbradshaw2021]

I never used the floor polish to tighten joints but clear nail polish works for me

[@tran3214]

This works really well thanks for taking the time to make the video!

[@MikeD974]

My ratchet was perfect but I got same issue with blurr gonna do this now thx patriot prime

[@xboxgamerJ16]

Ss86 blurr has that problem too but it seems worse.

[@TomMSTie1138]

I couldn't find the Pledge and was afraid to try a different brand so I bought the Kiki. I honestly think Kiki is just floor polish or watered down Elmer's glue.

[@derekosoriomartinez5974]

Does it effect the transformation processes?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Not one bit.

[@eventprogenitor1873]

When closing the pledge cap have a tissue over the cap so it does not squirt everywhere.

[@2Viking43]

Great video, thank you SO much for this!

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

You are so welcome!

[@joerodriguez8519]

Awesome video!! Now I can get to work fixing up many loose joints on my collection!! Thanks 🙏

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

You can do it!

[@roblane8953]

Thanks for this video, my Kingdom Galvatron has a loose right leg at the hip, just like your Ratchet. Not if only I can find some Pledge...

[@Nora.NoNorea]

Videos two years old yet I wanna know, how can I fix the loose arms on a figure like the earth rise smokescreen mold?

[@MrIcemansp]

I'm really glad you finally made this video can you make more like this if they are any more ways to do thing like this

[@novermbergamer4787]

Thanks for the vid, this really helps.👍🏻👍🏻

[@speeddemon5339]

I thought you were going to put the floor polish on the tab for blur’s arm.

[@RarebitFiends]

Awesome! Thank you for making this!

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

No problem!

[@strato991]

Having stumbled upon this, does anyone know what the active thing in the floor polish that increases the friction? Like uh, what is actually solidifying that is allowing the joints to beocme tighter and all that jazz.

[@karlopopovic810]

Great vid! For us across the pond that are unable to get this specific brand - what kind of floor polish is it? Chemically I mean, what's the 'star ingredient'? What am I looking for at the store (label)? Also how do you usually fix tabs that wore out and won't hold any longer?

[@scourge_creations]

Just added the floor polish to my ultra magnus, studio series Optimus primal, Noah Diaz, core class arcee blackout and legacy bludgeon , now just gonna wait tomorrow

[@jameswarrick778]

And for watching this I'm wondering if this would be the solution for siege ironhide's panels that keep popping off. Great video sir.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

It does help.

[@jameswarrick778]

@@PatriotPrimeReviews awesome, I'll do just that then.

[@tronics3658]

After applying glue, do I need to put the leg/arm back onto the figure or should I keep it out and then wait for some hours

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Glue? Yeah, I'd wait a bit before attaching, you don't want it to glue to the figure.

[@sonofastudstudios4552]

Great, but how do you apply it to a figure like hunt for the decepticons seaspray? His leg swivel and groin along with the metal rods he has all over have been very loose recently so does anyone have a suggestion for that?

[@SleepsSam]

I got floor polish but it's for wood and I just heard you need the one for tiles. Will floor polish not work too? Mine says quick drying too.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I haven't tried wood polish, so I can't say for sure. A long as it doesn't have a color to it you should be good.

[@hanhong2267]

I used to apply too much floor polish, and that caused the joints of my figures to feel sticky and creaky. Is there a way to reverse the damage?

[@yetanotherspuart3993]

I gotta get me something like this to fix a few issues. Not being in America can make it a bit harder to find similar products, and where to buy the things from.

[@Duomaxwell02M]

In the Philippines its called Pledge Wipe & Shine

[@scourge_creations]

I've seen some people's studio series Ultra Magnus shoulders to be loose so if my Ultra Magnus does come with loose joints i will try this

[@Tkdbar]

This gives me hope for my Super 7 🐢

[@philliprollins8357]

He has Shakira hips 🤣🤣, i guess the hips don't lie lol great video 👍

[@biospark4758]

Does this also work for loose 5mm pegs/ports?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Yes, I've did a few of those.

[@biospark4758]

@@PatriotPrimeReviews any specific tips for that? Should I leave the weapon in a figure’s hand while the polish dries?

[@oldwarriorproductions6194]

im late, but i have have a quick question: does it work on metal-on-plastic wear? I may use this tutorial on a Gobot i own, (specifically zig zag) since the head is extremely loose

[@iBeamer]

Anyone ever use this type of fix on ratchet joints? Not Ratchet (seen above), but the actual click-click joints?

[@groundhog678]

Thanks for the video. One question though how well does this hold up? Will it still work even after transforming this figures multiple times?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I've had no problems...so far. Of course I don't transform multiple times.

[@LexuesHalfLifeSlate]

Bought a third party shockwave whose hips were lose. Used Quickshine and it worked though I didn't think to let it sit for like twelve hours... I was wondering why it didn't seem to work but I didn't let it set lol.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Yep, it's gotta dry really good.

[@JheregCG60]

You know what would work better than q-tips are those cheapy needle oiler bottles for putting the Pledge right where you need it and nowhere else.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Great idea

[@name-qt4qf]

Will this work with voyager class tarn? The legs and an elbow flop around easily when it came out of the box

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I don't see why not.

[@name-qt4qf]

Cool! Do you know where i can buy pledge? The link in the description says it's unavailable

[@somethingidk786]

Does this work with other floor cleaner

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Cleaner won't work, it need to be a polish.

[@somethingidk786]

@@PatriotPrimeReviews so does the brand matter about floor poliish because I do have some but iy not pledge floor polish

I don't see why it wouldn't.

[@wilcis2887]

Can i do this with nail polish?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I believe so.

[@jaretmendez5138]

Does this works for the pegged on joints for the ss Scourge smoke stacks?! All 4 are loose 🥲🥲

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Yes, I've thickened up many pegs.

[@Good7Bad13]

So I have a kingdom warpath with a loose hip and a seige Apeface with a loose shoulder. Would this method work?

[@papatubez3062]

I've had no problems using good old fashioned Elmer's glue over the years

[@MaxwellWurme]

Does quick shine multi surface work Does it matter at all what brand you use

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

As long as it's a Polish it should work.

[@MaxwellWurme]

awesome thanks 👍

[@windowone]

Would this also work on loose ratchet joints/heads on a ball joint that feels like it isn't attached?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

It should.

[@windowone]

Thanks! Just got generations kup and a thrilling thirty nightbeat, the head is really loose on kup and the knee on nightbeat is too loose for him to even stand

[@trainandmore]

Have you tried this with the store brand, like Great value, my core class slug has loose ball joints. Or would you suggest going with the name brand you showed off?

[@coltongelinas7601]

What would you recommend for pegs? My bso3 Optimus has his waist and shoulder pegs that won't stay in their slots. Any help?

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I've uses a very VERY thin layer of Superglue.

[@coltongelinas7601]

@Patriot Prime Reviews thank you. What about for the metal pivots on his feet? I can't get the quick shine to work for that

[@weiliyin909]

I have a metal build Gundam with a loose joint, but I left it in a box for a couple of years and it’s not loose no more, weird?

[@shirothenoodle1810]

I always hate when reviewers are like "man this figure isn't good because its loose right out of the packaging" in my head I'm just screaming "just use floor polish!!"
