How to Use:

1. Identify Loose Joint: Determine which joint needs reinforcement
2. Select Appropriate Size: Choose the sticker size that matches your joint diameter
3. Clean the Surface: Remove any oil or residue from the joint using alcohol or similar solvent (critical for proper adhesion)
4. Apply Sticker: Wrap the JOINT GUARD sticker approximately two-thirds up the joint's height
5. Use Incisions: The pre-cut incisions allow the sticker to wrap snugly around the joint
6. Join Parts Together: Connect the parts – the joint will now be tighter and more secure

Why Choose GUNPRIMER JOINT GUARD:

Advantages Over Traditional Methods:

• vs. Super Glue: Non-permanent, won't fuse parts together, allows for future disassembly
• vs. Floor Polish: Cleaner application, no drying time, consistent results
• vs. Tape: Pre-cut to perfect sizes, professional appearance, durable material
• vs. Nail Polish: No odor, instant results, precise sizing

Size Guide:

• Smallest: Finger joints, small weapon pegs
• Small-Medium: Wrist joints, small ball joints
• Medium: Elbow joints, knee joints, standard ball joints
• Medium-Large: Shoulder joints, hip joints
• Large: Large ball joints, main torso connections
• Largest: Extra-large joints on PG kits and large-scale models

Application Examples:

• RG RX-78-2: Known for loose ankle and hip joints – Joint Guard restores stability
• MG Kits: Reinforce shoulder and hip joints for better weapon-holding poses
• HG Kits: Tighten loose polycap joints in arms and legs
• PG Kits: Secure large ball joints and heavy weapon connections
• Older Kits: Restore tightness to joints degraded over time

Pro Tips:

1. Clean First: Always clean joints with alcohol before application – oil is the enemy of adhesion
2. Two-Thirds Rule: Apply sticker approximately 2/3 up the joint height for optimal tightness
3. Test Fit: After applying, test the joint tightness before final assembly
4. Multiple Layers: For extremely loose joints, apply 2-3 layers of stickers
5. Color Match: Choose sticker color (grey/black) that best matches your kit's joint color
6. Storage: Keep unused stickers on the backing sheet to maintain adhesion quality
