'Tips and Tricks' Guide For Rey Skywalker 'Scavenger' DIY Empty Hilt Prop Kit 

❤️

Loctite can be cleaned with a solvent so something like Acetone will clean it up. Best to get a cue tip, soak in the acetone and rub the area where it has seeped 👍👍

The grease only needs applying to the inside surfaces of the parts. Not the outside. Grease won’t be all over your hands whenever you pickup the Saber. Also, silicone lubricant isn’t the typical kind of thick ‘goopy’ grease people think of when they hear the word ‘grease’. It’s very low viscosity and almost like window cleaner if that makes sense? 😅 Once you have applied silicone lubricant to the mechanism parts as shown in the video, using some paper towels or tissue to wipe away any excess will work great 👍

Screw them back in and once you can’t screw any further, slightly back out a quarter turn or so. This gives the space for the petal to still be able to move. Then, as recommended in the video, best to apply some blue Loctite to the threads.

@@KRSabers Thanks, but I can't get the arm and petal to stay aligned in order to allow the screws to be inserted and the tightened

@@rob1uk82 You’d have to disassemble the entire upper assembly then. 👍

Josh from Multiverse Props is making great progress working his way through them :) He’s actually finished a small batch of them now, so a handful will ship out soon. I’d say another batch will go out in Feb with the remaining being all shipped during March and early April ;)

@@KRSabers Thank you. I am stupid excited to get it!!

Please watch and listen to the video carefully. Locite threadlocker isn’t glue. It just adds a thin layer of material to create more friction on the threads of whatever screw it is applied to. Reducing the risk of coming loose from vibrations etc. You don’t see any exposed threads of screws on the hilt so you won’t see any blue. Plus, you can just wipe away the excess Loctite with tissue as I do briefly in the video. 👍

@@KRSabers Thank you! My mistake, I always thought Loctite was just a thin glue used for sealing threads. I’ll give it a go.

Pre-orders closed on January 31st. We should have spare kits listed in 2-3 months after the pre-orders are finished.

I suggest clicking the link in the video description for more information.

Hello @KR Sabers, I discovered you yesterday with this video. It's a pity that there are no more of these "Scavenger" kits because I would have bought one. You say you will have some in 2-3 months, but are you sure? If not, do you have other social networks where you will announce when there will be back in stock (if they will)? Sorry if you have already answered this in your other message I am not an English speaker. This message is Google translated.
