Gluing Crystal

[aka pixi]

Years ago my lad bought me a lovely little crystal cat. Unfortunately the other day one of the real cats jumped up on the windowledge and knocked it off. Its tail and one of its ears were broken off. Does anyone know if I can glue it and what I should use? I have superglue in the house but darent try anything unless I spoil it.

Thanks

Hi Pixie- superglue runs a risk of 'fogging' the glass at the joint. Hunt around in hardware shops- you can buy speciality glass repair glues

Look for glass repair adhesive which is activated by exposure to ultra-violet light (bright sunlight will do) as this stuff will stay liquid while it is out of the sun indoors, giving you loads of time to get the parts in the correct place and lined up looking good, then you just take it out in the sun light for a couple of minutes and it sets hard.
