This happened yesterday while I was trying to rearrange everything on top of the cabinet. It’s a mini walk-in closet, and I wanted all the book nooks displayed together, followed by the miniatures, my merry-go-round, and the electric guitar.
As I was placing the Tipsy Restaurant, it accidentally slipped from my hand. The cabinet is four tiers high—taller than me (I’m 5’2")—so when it fell, it shattered into little pieces.
Now I’m wondering: is there a type of glue I can use to fix it permanently without making it messy? Some of the wooden parts are broken, and regular glue doesn’t seem to be working. How can I repair those pieces?
Oh you poor thing. That must have been devastating for you. I’m not sure of the best glue but take it slowly as you go and wait for each part to dry first.
I’m sorry that it happened to you since I also have the same scenario happened to me a few years ago that’s why I paused for months because of frustration and I lost some of the parts. Try Elmer’s glue or B7000, they say that it’s a great glue though I haven’t tried it yet or super glue in Shopee. It’s really sticky even on plastics.
Oh no, I’m so sorry that happened to you! It could happen to anybody though, but I understand your feeling. B7000 could be a nice idea as others have pointed. I hope you can fix it! If not, well… You can always buy another one and revive the building process of it, although I guess that’d have a bittersweet taste.
Aww I’m so sorry this happened. It really depends on what damage has happened and I hope it’s nothing too serious. I hope most of them have just popped out so you can slot them back in.
Otherwise for the broken pieces, I personally use B7000 and UHU glue and they should do the trick. You just need to take you time, don’t stress and slowly work on it over days.
I’ve had a few similar mishaps in the past. Usually it looks worse than it actually is. Most glues work well for wood. You just need to give it enough time to completely dry. I recommend any craft glue.
Ironically I wouldn’t recommend wood glue because it takes like 20 hours to dry.
Noted. I was actually looking for wood glue earlier but couldn’t find a small one—most of what I saw was in large quantities. Good thing you mentioned that it takes time to dry.
The type of glue depends on how good it needs to hold. For strong hold i would use b7000. For cosmetic fixes i use tacky glue as it dries clear without residue.
