Gorilla Glue at the joints might do the trick if it goes together. Could also try putting it in the freezer for awhile with the metal together. ---

Crazy glue would work a bit better since it doesn’t expand when the it dries. Also, thanks for the tip! I just learned how to take the rings off my DMII easily! ---

it’s not stupid…it’s learnin’ 🙂 and agree’d - you can put some adhesive on the rims/plastic to join them back together. i would go w/ any adhesive made for metal/plastic - they have specialty adhesives out there that will do just that. mgodinez sunrise… ---

> [@Vincent1](#): > > So watdo, now the metal caps fall off too easily, i basically have a shell of a yoyo, any way i can repair it Care to post pictures of the yoyo, the various loose parts and perhaps the hair dryer? I mean, everyone knows you air dry a plastic yoyo! Sorry, I haven’t used a hair dryer in over 10 years. We aim those at our skulls, and it gets hot enough to melt polycarbonate? I’d expect a heat gun but not a hair dryer. So, note to all: Paper towels!!
