Hoping I’m posting this in the right place.
I have a Nene Thomas fgurine that I received with a broken wing-tip (on the show side, naturally). I’ve tried crazy glue and white glue but neither will bond at all.
So, my question is – does anyone have any experience repairing these? Any suggestions for what glue to use?
Does anyone know what thses figurines are made of?
Thanks.

Those figurines are made of resin. My roomie says you will need to pin it becuase it will have smooth edges so there is very little for the adhesive to bond to. She would need to know if the wing is clear or toned? That will determine what type of material you will need to pin it with.

Sun Dragon Koi #3Thanks for the tip. It’s the “storm bubble ” fairy. The wings are light grey and, of course it’s the tip.

They make a clear plastic toothpick. You will probably have to buy a entire box. It’s a little heftier than she would prefer for something so small but it’s the only thing she can think of made out of the clear plastic you will need. You will make a small hole in the wing and another in the tip, use the toothpick sized down to be a small pin and insert both ends in the holes. Be sure you use a clear glue with no yellowing and secure the pin. The pin should give you the extra support you need to get the epoxy to set.
