Posts: 63 | One of my medusas tails is partially torn. What are the best ways to get it back together that anyone recommends? Also, would the partial tear cause it to turn in circles during retrieval? If not, what are ways to fix that too if anyone has ever experienced that? | ||

Buy some Mend-It. For tails, just put a light drop of Mend-It on and hold together for a minute or 2. Be as good as new. | |||

Posts: 19 | A Butane Micro Torch works great, have one and use it on all the slices on my Bulldawgs and Madusas, slightly melt the slice or tear push together and hold for a second or so, good as new! Got mine at Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/butane-micro-torch-63170.html | ||

Mend-it saved a bulldawg for me. The stuff actually melts the surface you put it on then as it dries it becomes one piece. So for reattaching a tail just brush it on either surface and hold together for a bit then set it in a position to dry without any movement. | ||

If you can’t fix it and you don’t like the way it runs cut the tail off the opposite side(assuming it’s the side tail that’s torn) that should balance it out. | ||
