    Really enjoying these repair videos! (For those reading this comment) Of course this also works with Billy Bass Junior, but the bracket that holds him in the plaque is a smaller size. Just be careful because the plastic is a cheaper quality and that bracket is prone to cracking. Same thing with the screw pegs. Gorilla glue is the solution for repairing broken plastic, I’m speaking from experience;)

      Good stuff to keep in mind yeah. I've never owned a Billy Jr but will certainly keep this in mind if I ever find one.

    I tried using a heat gun for Skullkrane’s whistle piece because the hole is too small but failed because I’m not a professional. Someday I’ll order a new whistle piece from Skullkrane and try to make the hole a little bigger using a heat gun.

    Working on repairing my 15 year bbbm. Nothing is cracked except for the mouth mech, but none of the body movements work. The plastic casing flexes when ever the tail is supposed to move. And ideas what is the cause?

    • @SomeThing-z9i
      @SomeThing-z9i 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So i got it to work temporarily, I have no idea what is wrong, originally only the head would move alongside the jaw, then only the mouth would move and the head would barely lift, now the tail and mouth works but the head doesn't lift. Would it be something to do with the spring being removed?

      Also how do you reattach the tail spring? I have been puzzled on how to do it for my 15 year bbbm and a few others

      Yes, but I find it hard to believe the whistle piece is broken less than 2 years after it was manufactured

      If you put some WD40 on the plastics of the fish, it makes the skin a lot easier to get on. I do it almost every time I fix a singing fish, because if not there's a risk of stretching the rubber and causing it to rip
