Best glue for fixing broken marble statue?
There are all kinds of glues out there : epoxy, polyurethane etc. I have a marble statue (pi xiu – chinese mystical dragon/animal) with a broken leg. The marble is heavy, looks soft and flaky at the broken surface and I think will chip easily.
What glue is best for fixing it back (best)?
Go see your local marble shop- ask them to sell you a small pint or the smallest size marble glue they have. The glue will be translucent in color. If you bring the broken leg, you could even ask them to bring the glue to the back of the shop and have one of their workers tint it properly.
This is a two part glue, one in a can the other is a small toothpaste like container.
Make sure the pieces you are gluing fit in properly.
Mix a small amount of resin (can) with a touch of hardener (toothpaste tube).
Apply the mix to the broken area and squeeze the piece in place. Wipe the excess immediately and manage to tape the leg to the statue during drying time.
when its dry you can remove some smudgy residue with a little acetone.
