I am curious what kind of glue you use to repair statues/figures that are plastic. I've found superglue just melts plastics and isn't useful at all. |
Yeah I got lucky with the sellers... but even with the money back it still is frustrating as broken statues are not what i wanted.
These are not plastic. Also it would depend on the type of plastic and the type of super glue you use as to weather it would melt it some. Sometimes there is not much you can do, all depends on the circumstances... context is everything.
The statues I have are all resin or polystone. I recently fixed a polystone statue and I used super glue to set the small pieces in place and then coated them with a thin layer of clear hard epoxy around the areas that broke.
With the Samael I may have to use hotglue o the leg armor since it was only initially held on by a very small attachment spot. Then I will use superglue on the chains and then a hard epoxy coating.
