Patriot Prime here once again with another video and in this video I'm going to finally show you how I use Pledge Floor Polish to fix up the loose joints on my transformer figures. Usually when I get a figure like, oh, ratchet here who has very loose hips, I always say in the video, you know, I'll touch him up with Pledge and he'll be good to go. Now I'm going to show you how I do it. So I've got two patients here. I've got ratchet who's got these really, really loose hips and I've got Shattered Glass Blur who has this section right here that just will not stay up. Now I know a lot of people are like, hey, there's that Kiki joint tightener. Why don't you just use that? I'm like, well, Kiki is about $12, 4, around 30 milliliters, milliliters, how are you saying it? Of, you know, fluid. You get a little bottle about yay big. But for $8, I get 27 fluid ounces of Pledge. I've actually had this bottle for about two years and it works great. I just recently tightened the joints on Fangri here. If you're familiar with this figure at all, he had knees that were just ungodly loose. Now, I mean, he's good to go. He's got real nice tight knee joints thanks to Pledge here. So now without further ado, let's get to work on ratchet and blur and get these joints tightened up and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now, first things first is you want to have your area prepped. I have my little hobby board here. Just in case I spill Pledge, I don't want it all over my desk or my review area. I've got my applicators and I use Q-tips. When I first started, I used little paint brushes like model brushes. But once you dip those in Pledge, the brushes are shot. I mean, they just become hard as a rock. So I like using Q-tips. Plus, I usually take one Q-tip and snip it depending on what I'm doing. So now, I have like a little applicator and I'll probably use that for blur. Just get that out of the way. Anyone have some tissues or napkins to wipe up any messes. Now for the video to make this a little easier, I went ahead and put some Pledge in this bottle cap right here. It's a lot easier to show on camera than going for the bottle. So first things first, let's check out blur. He only has this one section that just keeps flopping around. No matter how you angle it, it just flops. I meant to fix this a long time ago. I was just getting ready to shoot a Toyhacks video for him. And that's when I remembered this floppy piece. So if you take a look here, here's the hinge. That's where it flops. Just to show you this other one, doesn't do it at all. It's nice and smooth, but this one sucks. So I've got the hinge right there. And what you want to do is you won't get the Pledge right there in the joint. So let me find my little dipper without the cotton swab on it. What I want to do, if you can see there's a drop of Pledge on this, you just kind of drop it right there in the joint. Let's do it again. Do a couple drops, thinking that up. Once you get that in there, just kind of work that back and forth, flip around, and I always do, I attack from both sides. Let's go ahead and put some right here. I hope I get that in shot for you. Actually, I like this bottle cap approach. I've never done that before. So now I'm going to work that in a little bit more. And then we're just going to sit blur aside and let that pledge dry. Usually about eight to 12 hours. Most times when I do this, I fix the figure, setting down next day at Checking Mount. So ratchet. If you just saw my ratchet review, he's got Shakira hips. They're really, really loose. And upon further inspection, I see that it's right here in his hip area. And there's a screw, Fissel Focus. First thing I want to do is see if tightening that screw is actually going to help. I know I've had some G1 figures that over the years, their screws have become loose. Yeah, I can tell that wasn't screwed in all the way. Okay. So now, well, that didn't do much. It's still flopping. This one, that's not as bad, but the right leg, it sucks. So since I can actually open this up and have access to these sections right here, let's go ahead and do that. Get him apart. So once you get ratchet's legs taken off, you'll see they're attached via these mushroom pegs. And what I've done is taken some pledge and went all the way around the mushroom peg like so. So we'll let that dry a little bit. And then we're going to reattach the legs to ratchet. So now that I've got ratchet's hips reattached, I'm going to go ahead and take my little stipper here. And I will put some drops right there at the joint, just like with blur that dropped in and then just work it around. Spin it a couple times. Now we'll do the other side. Work those around. Now we'll ratchet over here with blur and let him dry off. Now you can do the same thing with figures that have ball joints. I actually have done this with sender saw here. This arm was super loose. So all you do with the ball joints, pop the arm off or pop the joint off, take your swab and just go around the joint like so. So she's going to have extra tight arms and then just pop it on, work it around and set her to the side. And now the hardest part of this whole fix, the weight. So let's check back on these guys in about eight to 12 hours. A few hours later. Alright, so it's been about four and a half hours. So let's check on our patients here. Starting with blur, holding them here, you can see that arm flap is not flopping like it was before. I mean, shaking pretty hard, it still comes down, but nothing like it was before. It still got that little bit of a give that may be because of all the weight. Then again, I may not have let him dry long enough. I might give him an extra application. Now the main guy here, ratchet. There we go. That's awesome. It really worked with ratchet. Of course, I put the pledge on the inside, on the pegs and on the outside. Man, that works really good, especially for only about five hours. Usually I have to wait all night to get results like that. I can still see that leg flopping a little bit, but nothing like it was. So he is 100% better. So there you go guys. That's how I tighten the joints on my transformer figures using pledge floor care.
