I have a question about glue...
A visitor to my site asked me how to fix a broken statue that he has. If there's a special kind of glue that people use to fix them. I've never come across this problem so I was wondering if there was anything - other than superglue - that people may use to glue statues together.

I use superglue for small, less weighty fixes.
I have used 2 ton mixture for larger and heavier fixes. It comes in a two-tube syringe that you mix together. It starts setting up immediately once you start mixing them.

Used crazy glue (or equivalent non name brand) to fix before. Seems to be ok.

Zap-a-gap glue is the best for statues. Most hobby shops carry it. Very strong and bonds within seconds...

Same here. With kits, I always drill and insert metal pins for added strength.
