I've always found clear nail varnish is handy. Easy to apply and just adds a little layer of thickness.

For ball joints, but I am talking about PIN joints. You cant disconnect pins without pulling them out, which I don't want to attempt.

I'm well aware you're talking about PIN JOINTS. And my recommendation still stands.

Drip the nail varnish on, wiggle the joint back and forth, let the nail varnish work it's way in and it will tighten up.

Well it's worked for me at least. Image

Others folks will have other recommendations though. So wait a couple of days and see what else is suggested. That way you can't come back and say "Dammit Burn! Your method ruined my TF!"
