Yes I do play on trying to clean him up a bit . He was used for years infront of a store going in and out on a daily basis so he  has been around the block more than once . I will try removing the tape on the outside and putting industrial PVC tape on the inside .

Sylvia / Rasputin

The only way I could ever fix my big guys was to fuse the tears together using a product called Plastex.  I had tried a number of methods to glue or "weld" the tears together but had little success. [Plastic welding is basically a pain in the derrier.] The plastic on these guys is very thin and the hardest part of mending them was to get the two sides to line up!  If you are going to try to fix the big guy, Rasputin, I would give the Plastex a try.  Chances are pretty good he will also need some interior reinforcement at the tears ... a good polyethylene or polystyrene sheet should do the trick. Just be forewarned, it is very delicate surgery and practicing with some other similar plastic before attempting klickly life-saving techniques is strongly recommended!  Good Luck!

BTW... that isn't his proper hat.... He should have an airline hat on [I used to have him in my shop.] However, isn't that the glorious thing about klickys....?  Mix and match I say!!!  I wonder if he is a pilot masquerading as a pirate or a pirate masquerading as a pilot?

Thanks for the fixing tips . I guess I really am only interested in cleaning him up and not a total restoration . The Plastex sound like something i will try but not get my knickers in a twist over . The idea of putting a plastic sheet inside as a reinforcement is very smart .

I like to think of him as a Pirate of the skies  :arrr: . How one could pirate a plane in mid-air is a trade secret that i am not allowed to tell or its walk the plank ( with out a parachute ) .

Rasputin-

The only reason I mention the Plastex is because once these guys get cracks, a basic tape isn't going to stop it from ripping more. The structure is compromised and any movement can result in further destabilization.  Short of mummifying it, and if you want him to last, it might be worth the $14.95 for the goop.  I worry so about our large friends!  ;-)

Hello Rasputin  :wave:

Whenever your "Big Little Pick Me Up" feels a bit lonely, show him pictures of other Playmo Giants from his "Family"...
