    Your restoration turned out great! I still have a Death Star Station and remarkably, nothing is broken, and all the stickers are intact! Still have a multicolor bag of foam for the trash compactor, and I have the monster. The card board backings are a little worn on the edges, but I have strengthened them by separating the layers of paper along the edge, adding superglue between each layer, allowing the paper to dry solid. This makes the edges pretty sturdy, but it is a process that has some obvious risk to it. Lucky for me, I'm an old hat at restoring paper and toys. My laser cannon doesn't stay up too well, but that's about all that's wrong with it.

      One thing you might look into regarding those backboard stains is to watch some comic book stain removal videos. I've seen a number of youtubers who restore and conserve comics that remove stains via soaking the paper in various solutions. Maybe some of those might prove helpful.

      Yeah sometimes I wait thinking no, not going to work… then all of a sudden it melts. Sometimes no matter how long I wait nothing happens and it’s on to the super glues. Eventually that filler worked but took a lot of time, super glue was needed in conjunction for sure.

    I was hoping you may have some advice for dealing with stripped screws. I have a number of vintage figures who I can’t fix because I don’t know how to deal with striped screws. I’m very reluctant to try a drill. Do you have any suggestions?

    • @toysbackzen
      @toysbackzen 23 дня назад

      I use a flat head screwdriver and wedge it in the striped screw. Needs to be the same width as the opening, try different sizes until it grips. Push hard but not too hard to break the figure or the threads.
