Hello! I just moved to San Antonio, TX. I brought my giant clam collection with me. Please me out please before saying this post doesn't belong here. So, my biggest giant clam shell broke in half during the move, and I want to repair it. I'd assume its a lot like restoring fossils, which is why I'm in need of your help. Here are my questions: #1: Can I restore a modern giant clam shell with fossil restoration products? #2: If #1 is yes, then what would be the best adhesive/restoration product for restoring tiny and big, light and VERY heavy pieces of seashell? #3: Does anyone live near San Antonio TX that I could pay to have them help me fix it? (If so, I have further requests on how to do it and make it more like a piece of art than a shell. Until someone can help me, I'm trying to learn as much as I can in case I have to do it myself.) #4: Any other information that would be useful for my pursuit? Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate your help!!! P.S.: I don't have any pics as I haven't unpacked yet. I will give pics as soon as I can and have the chance.
