fossilized6s Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I got my hands on another bigger tooth for pretty cheap. Looked like a good candidate for a repair/resto job. And to my surprise after i cleaned the horribly strong Moroccan sand/glue consolidation off of each piece of tooth the break was quite clean and fit back together almost perfectly. It really makes one wonder why they just didn't glue it properly when recovered. Their sand/glue seam was about 3mm thick!
