Help me repair a tiny broken zebra
07/10/2022 | ExGeeEye

Posted on 07/10/2022 5:16:27 AM PDT by ExGeeEye

I've had these tiny zebras in my* home all my life. I don't know where they came from, or why there are two that are identical.

When my late parents' house was emptied, my sister sent these (and other things) to me. One of the zebras had suffered from a failure in packaging.

I would like to repair it, but fear making a hash of it. At the very least, I would like to know the best adhesive for the purpose, and any recommendations as to method of securing pieces together while an adhesive sets or cures.

Thanks in advance!

*I count the home I left, but frequently visited, once I left the nest.

Don’t use Gorilla glue, it bubbles and expands. Even the clear kind. I use E-6000 for jewelry, works with glass too. Drys clear. Put dots on the inside of the break and hold in place with scotch tape. Wait till the next day to do another piece. The excess can be cut off with a razor after all is dry.

Look up super glue and baking soda on Youtube”

That mixture worked great on a piece of ceramic that was broken.
