I may try epoxy next time if I can be sure it won't warp the plastic of the tubes.
This is my poor worn first ray gun. The paint is mangled and the once clear cast has gone yellow but I can fix it.

All we need are the right tools.

First it got a full repaint with sealer to help it last. Then I replaced the missing hammer with a gem and added a crystal to the back port to fill the hole an old light rig had left.

And of course I added a new light rig

And now I have a perfect pair
