Repairing a statue

Hey guys

A quick question. I have the Gen13 Fairchild statue and it broke during my last move. I was wondering what is the best type of glue to fix it with?

Thanks

As I've heard two-party epoxy is the best adhesive to use. However I personally use zap-a-gap which is great, and if use in moderate quantities dries clear instead of white. It's much better then crazy glue :| I don't recommend crazy glue.

Not sure what part broke on your statue, but when my Superman statue broke at the ankles, I used a two-part epoxy (2500 psi strength, if I remember correctly...really really strong stuff) and I used some bolts for extra strength in each leg. I can hold that statue straight out horizontally and it won't give at all.

Of course, if it's just a tiny little detail piece that broke off, just use some crazy glue. I used that when one of the ear pieces broke off on my Flash statue.
