Prior to them changing the formula, I used to swear by Dow's Scrubbing Bubbles with Bleach. I whitened an entire Crusader with it, and some figures. But since then, the formula was changed, and it just doesn't do it.

If you can find the arctic figures from 97-98(?), I see the arms and such I have in my fodder pile are still quite white, almost a "blue-white", like photographed snow.

Hey Mike,

I did read the post and was only trying to provide an alternative.

You are correct, You can't cast a metal rivet per se. However, there are two rivet options which you may not be aware of at this time.

The first is to purchase some miniature-scale rivets from a site like microfasteners.com. Then you can cast the base pieces in white and use a crimper to join the arm pieces together.

The second is to cast mini plastic rivets and then crimp them. Even though they're plastic, those little rivets do take a lot of punishment.

Just thought you might want to consider those other options as well. Wish you the best of luck on your endeavour buddy. Keep us posted.

Now that I am totally willing to do.

Thanks for the tip, I think I'd rather go that route if possible!
