VF-19 Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Be very very careful with it. I purchased 2 Temjins that both had problems... I got lucky with a third temjin. The Kayaido toys, while great, have a tendency to break... What you could do to loosen it up is perhaps some sort of oil (like WD-40) to loosen it up. However, you may ruin the finish of the toy, so be careful... Quote
Graham Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 WD-40 is actually a solvent, not just a lubricant, so it can damage certain plastics. Graham Quote

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 after many days of trying to force out the "gun" part i just tore it apart and glued the whole thing back together...thanks for all the help guys Quote
