Note: I still do not recommend sticking vintage figures in water for a number of reason. To do so is at your own risk. That being said....
Though, I'm kind of against sticking vintage figures in water- my son asked me, "What good are they if you can't take them in the tub?"
So I figured it's the best way to test them during real world play. You have to understand, I was and am a set them up cool and admire them type of person. My son is a bang them together, get 'em dirty, toss them around type (I have to add here his type- my brothers and I would frown on when we were kids...lol!)
All and all they got a work out and the flock stayed perfect so it looks like a success!
Two glues were used. On the red head- Store bought (ebay) 30 minute epoxy was used.
On the gray head- 10E007 2 part epoxy (Nyatex adhesives) was used (this is the adhesive I use for reflocks of 99% of GI JOE.
I will use the other epoxy for really soft or really lumpy types of heads only because it's a bit thicker to fill in very textured heads.
Then the trouble came along, but the flock held up great!
