Aat All Ttqb Passers
 
How do you keep the white TTQB'S from breaking a leg after constant use ?

I was practicing throwing with 2 white ttb's and after a while i noticed there legs became weaker and weaker then snaped. That is not the right kind of plastic for that type of figure and it's usage. Is there any type of glue or some sort of "WHATEVER" to put around the legs before using so that part of the TTQB' S body is stronger and able to handle the continued use .

IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA'S, PLEASE LETS HEAR IT.

P.S/ WHY DID MIGGLE SWITCH FROM THE "MORE POWERFULL YELLOW TTQB'S TO THE DELICATE WHITE ONES ? Not a knock on miggle but WHAT ARE THEY DOING ?"

i have had the exact same problem. i had tried building up around the ankle with super glue, but it still snapped at a higher point. i have tried tenax-7, model glue, no good result for me. i just switched over to the yellow ttqb.

Here is how I solved the problem. Just give the ball to Csonka more.lffng$
I also had to switch to the yellow qb's .

Oddly enough, I've only ever had yellow TTQB's break. My white ones have always done fine.

Can't kick for a darn, but anyway.

Bruce Watts told me to take you TTC and let it sit in vinager for a couple of days. I hope this helps.

I destroyed more TTQB's than I want to admit..

One thing fixed the problem

I only found it at Home Depot.
It's called Plastic Fusion..
Works great.. and can be sanded and shaped.

I can't remember if I read this or heard it, not sure if it's fact or fiction. Get a red hot needle/pin and push up through the base into the foot and into the lower leg, then trim the remainder of the needle off flush with the base.

Like I said, never tried it, just remember hearing or reading it somewhere along the line. Not sure how far you would be able to push the needle into the plastic before it cools too much and stops going further.

I may give this one a try this weekend.


Anyone hear of this?

never heard of it, but i can definitely see how it would work. thanks!

i have to find some of this plastic fusion that kansas bill talks about, sounds like some really toxic stuff.thmbsp$
