@YRQRM0 Don't you need to add more pieces of paper towel every time you do it again? Since you're forcing something in there, it gets even looser as time goes on. Also how often will you need to replace the paper towel once it gets loose again? A few months? Years? I'm deciding between this trick and the glue and nail polish tricks.

@Thrill126 Well of course it depends on how much you move around the joint. I've only done each figure once. The main reason why I prefer this method is because if you put too much paper towel, you can easily reduce it. With super glue too much is permanent, and it can ruin the figure. I'm not sure what you mean when you say it gets looser as time goes on though, doesn't that happen no matter what to the joint, the layer of glue, and the paper towel no matter what?
