Dinobot Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi there I recently purchased a cave bear paw and arm. It unfortunately cracked almost clean thru along a pin at the end of the humerus and a few piece broke off the head of the humerus. The seller said to use super glue for the repair. I am a total amateur. Is this the best thing to use? Any recommendations on how repair or what to use. If you recommend something other that super glue please let me know if it's something I can buy online Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Super glue is probably best for this repair. Make sure to dry fit the pieces as much as possible before you glue them so you don’t accidentally glue them in such a way as to make another pars not fit. With superglue, less is more. Slathering it on the joint makes a mess and takes forever to dry. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can laugh but I once glued an Oreodont skull to my fingers when I was letting some thin super glue seep into a crack to strengthen it and it turned out to go all the way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yep. I once glued 3 fingers of my right hand and 2 from my left to a concretion! That wasn’t fun to deal with Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
