The gearboxes are a slightly soft plastic so regular plastic glue that melts the plastic to form a bond probably won't work.? The heavy dental floss does work and you can adjust how much you use to get a tight mechanical connection.? I wouldn't count on it as a permanent solution but it seems to work pretty well.? I like the plain stuff but if you like a minty fresh mount pickup the mint flavored stuff.? ?
