Re: [DL] reparing broken figures -- WAY OT



I will agree there if it only a small piece, the epoxy and putty's can be overkill

Use Zap a Gap. I have one had the same issue and as long as its a clean break a very small dap of this expoxy will do the trick with these statues.
 
Save the green stuff for more gap filling situations, or if you wanted to create a new strap because you lost the part that broke off.

It all depends on what the figure is made of, there are a hundred types of glue and epoxy for different substances. A nice thick gel superglue will do the same as an epoxy and fill in the cracks, use and accelerator as well to help the glue set fast.
  The next best option is a good two part epoxy clay. You can buy a inexpensive version of this at a plumbing store or a more pricey version such as Kneadtite also called Blue Stuff at a hobby store. Games Workshop sells Blue and Green stuff at their stores and sites and it is what I use for modeling.

i know this is way ot, but it's the only place i can think of to ask.
 
i have 1 of the hanging judge statues. i was moving it while painting the house yesterday, and a small piece broke off. it is 1 of the small 'tentacles' that hang from the back of the gun belt.
 
any ideas what glue i should use to repair it?
 
 
thx.,
