This seems like the perfect thread for this.
I've been going through old stuff recently and unearthed a couple of old action figures (10+ years, easily.) They're wearing clothing made of some kind of pliable polymer - silicone, rubber, etc. Not sure exactly what.
It's begun to crack due to age, pic related. It's still flexible and not crumbling, but I can tell that the cracks would easily grow larger if one was not gentle with them, and will probably grow larger over time anyway.
However, I do have a tube of clear silicone bonder/adhesive that I got for repairing one of my keyboard membranes a while ago. Should I try rubbing some of that into the cracks/over the surface of the material, in an effort to seal them up, or is that likely to look like shit/not work and my best bet is to just box them up for now and handle them gently if I ever touch them again?
