Internet's are failing me today.

I got some Star Wars Legion stuff the other day, but I soon discovered that the flight stem for one of the speeders is broken. I tried fixing it with super glue, but unfortunately, it seems the speeders bike is too heavy for the super glue; it falls off during the curing process. Besides holding the dang thing absolutely perfectly still for 8-10 minutes, I don't know what to do other than possibly seeing if there's a clear epoxy putty I can use. However, my searches online aren't finding anything.

Is there such a thing as clear epoxy putty? If not, what else can I try?

Replace with a new spare stem if available or pinning it in place.

Have you considered standing it upside down so the speeder isnt putting weight on the stand?

Failing that, some sort of clamps or tape until it sets.

What about Clear Gorilla Glue?

Plastizap (superglue for clear plastic parts - lower fogging than regular stuff) could work.

There's no clear epoxy putty that I know of.

You can use two part epoxy which dries clear. 5 minute is best, but you do need to hold it in place for 5 minutes. Although a better method is find two small boxes or any other item to support your model while it dries.

Hope that helps,
