Repaired my Maggie (she arrived with her hand snapped off). Gentle Giant offered two options:
1. Destroy the statue (which seems a shame) and they would send a replacement (I’d have to pay the usual import charge).
2. Repair the statue, and I would receive a refund (how much was not mentioned).
Gentle Giant’s customer service is super slow, to say the least.
As I discovered, poly-stone is not so easy to glue. First I tried Super glue (the gel type) as someone on this forum mentioned in another thread using Super glue. Super glue fails to glue poly-stone. Araldite seemed the next best choice, so I tried rapid setting araldite which worked.
Before joining the hand to the arm, I spent a fair amount of time studying various photo’s making sure I got the position correct. Guess I was lucky, as the arm slots into the scarf around the hand, thus hiding any form of join. The only fault that remains, is a small piece of scarf that broke off in transit.
Here’s some snap-shots of my Maggie. She looks great. I’ve gotten used to the skin tone.
