See Tex? Glue is good for stuff other than sniffing!
This is how I do it too, easy as pie. Though I have had happy results without using the Vaseline too, so you can save that goo for your other uh... recreations.

This is assuming you ar using 25th joe bodies: Take vaseline and coat the neck peg on the Joe body, just the lightest coat.. Take the SW head and fill it with hot glue from a hot glue gun until it is flush with the hole. Count out loud to fifteen, then insert the neck into the head slowly until the head is on the neck at the proper angle and is sitting at the proper level. Wait fifteen to 20 min. and twist the head around in a circle, then pop it off. Trim any hot glue that goomed out when you iserted the neck, and clean off whatever vaseline is on the neck, and wallah. |

That can also be done using Green Stuff, same preparation methods, but let the head sit on the body overnight. |

JBYRDD's suggestion also gives you more time to work to get the head at the right angle and level, as the hot glue cools of in just a few minutes so you can't move it around, but is more permanent. Hot glue, you can pop it out if you don't like it. Either way should do you good. |

I haven't had good experience not using Vaseline. Had a head fuse to the neck post and ended up twisting off the neck when I tried to pop the head. Better to be safe than sorry I think. |

What I use is some braces wax. You can grab it from a dental supplies store. I stocked up on it when I wore braces. Just grab a bit and put it inside of the head cavity, then put the head on. removal is easy, just pull off the head and remove the wax with a toothpick. |
