awesome! they look great. is the silicone you speak of just normal hot glue or a special kind? and does it harden up or stay rubbery? I knew there is only one kind. It say's hot glue on the package. Also I found it on the dollar store. I will stiffen up like the cylinder you put on the gun, but a knife can slice through unlike the resin that becomes rock hard.

These are other figurines I used this method. As you can see, the silicone looks better for me.

So follow the same safety steps as before. I used a CD case for this way, as it was easier to carry to a place to harden. So get the resin mixed and ready, pouring it is tricky, I used a bent business card, to pour on it the liquid, and the so it falls on the right place I want it to. This resin is very sticky on your fingers, so use protective gloves.

This way is safer for your figurine, but the bad thing is the colour is not like the originals. This one does get rock hard, and it is not as easy to give shape. It is safer, as it won't glue hard to your figurine if you have a spill accident.

Finally, clean your piece. Just use warm water to wash away the white glue, or peel it.

The only problem with hot glue, is that it is meant to be used to glue things, and it does stick really hard to plastic. If you forgot to add white glue, let it cool down.I used force to removed the one piece I did forget on my first try.

After cleaning with the knife this is what it looks like.

Once the hot glue is cold you can remove your piece.

Carefully pour the hot glue from the back of the desired leg. Make sure the hot gun does not touch your piece.
