Gargoyle repair

Hi there,

Recently I won an auction on Ebay for the Hyena gargoyle. Despite wrapping it nicely with bubble wrap and other forms of protection UPS still managed to mutilate the box 🙄 . So here are my questions:

What’s the best glue to repair broken pieces? I’ve got general super glue.

What paint colors should I use to patch up the bare plaster?

And also, for the chips I can’t recover the pieces to, is there a putty or filling I can use that would be appropriate?

Here’s a few pictures of the poor guy:

I’m so sorry to see that broken gargoyle. Windstone actually recommends white glue (like elmers) for repairs to Windstones rather than superglue. A product that has been useful to several other members that specialize in Windstone repair for filling in gaps from missing pieces is Apoxy Putty as it doesn’t shrink when drying, doesn’t require baking and can be painted.

If you don’t feel up to the task you can always contact Kyrin. She’s the person mentioned in this thread and she is one of the people who specialze in repairs. I can speak from experience that she does a good job. My poor broken-footed Griffin isn’t in that thread, but there are other repairs that speak for themselves.

Kyrin would be able to help you. She is the “Windstone doctor”.
I fix mine with APOXIE SCULPT but that is not glue. Then I repaint where it needs to be painted. 🙂

That’s to bad 🙁 , poor guy. I’ve seen what Kyrin has fixed before, and that looks like an easy fix for her – if you decide to send him to her. 😉 .

Oh, the poor gargoyle!
I’ve fixed a couple gargoyles using some sort of superglue. You can make the cracks disappear, as long as they’re not too big, by painting the fixed spots with an ochre color, letting it dry and then washing it over with black. That’s my method, anyway.
