take apart and reassemble or click it over a gear in the right direction, the first option is the safest,

Hey guys my animated Prowl has loose legs and I was wondering how does the nail polish remover trick work?

[dak]

use either clear nail polish or a coating of Krazy Glue. not remover. It basically adds an extra layer to the ball joint and makes it thicker.

Can G1 Wheeljack's wheels be taken off by unscrewing that center screw? I can't get it to turn and I don't want to break anything. Is there an actual thread there or is it a rivet type contraption.

Thanks in advance

I don't have G1 wheeljack, but going by other G1 characters, I'm going to say it's a pin.

Sounds like you are using Testors enamel with a brush(which won't dry on most TF plastic)...so don't keep adding more -
Your problem could be 1 of many things or a combination.
Before painting any toy it needs to be washed in warm soapy water & rinsed well, let dry.
Most of us use model grade Acrylics because they dry on TF plastic, they don't hold up in most joint/rub areas but they never claimed they would either (hence the name "model" paints) Tamiya, Testors Model Master & Games Workshop/Citadel are some of the best ones out there, cleaning brushes is done with water.
Stripping paint off can also help(maybe not in your case) before you repaint.

What paint are you using ?
