Best substance to repair a broken skeleton piece?

Recommended Posts

DivinitaAria

Hello all,

 

I have a DDII body that suffered from a loose washer and screw within the thigh piece. I took apart the leg, managed to get the upper thigh piece out of the vinyl shell, screwed the thigh to the lower leg and then I tried to push and pull the skeleton back through the knee, which was difficult. I got advice from a friend (tsunamidelta) to take apart the knee and it'll make it easier to push the skeleton through the knee. Well, me being stupid tried reassembling the piece a couple more times before taking off the knee resulting in the shin skeleton to snap (like a twig...surprised that hasn't snapped when I took off the shin shell). Tsunami's advice was a life saver though. If only I listened earlier, the leg would be fixed!

 

My question is, what's the best glue/substance to repair this break?

Yep, epoxy is the best for this repair. I've repaired many DD skeleton pieces using this:

It works likes a champ as long as you follow the directions and let it dry for 4-6 hours.

Thanks for the advice and link! I think I'm going outside of campus for once and hopefully I can pick up that product. I'd like to have this body working again!
