To be accurate.
I got the left hand glued successfully.
But the staff keeps breaking back off.

I did. I drove an hour and a half to my friends house. Who does has the stuff i need because he does a lot of table top gaming.
And i was going over there for a weekend D&D session already.
No luck. The hands fell off again.

Maybe one of you will have better luck.

PS.. i don't appreciate the condescending nature of your inquiry.


Nah, sounds worse than it was meant to.

So follow-up.
I've decided not to give up.
Like I said. I got the hand to stay. But the staff head keeps snapping.
Is there a particular method to get the bond even stronger once I get the connection made? Any way to reinforce the bond? To make it sturdier?

One part gets the glue. Superglue. Doesn't matter how expensive, but the thinner the better.
The other part... and this is no joke... well, just lick it.
Press. Hold. Do not move. Ten seconds should do it.
The staff, because it has little surface to hold on with, will not be stable without a pin.

Lick it? After it's been glued? I don't want super glue on my tongue.
I tried to pin it, but It's too thin. I managed the hand though.

Now read that post of mine again.
An then try without a pin. It will break off when handled though.

Once you get it to stay then several layers of paint will help a little.

Finally got 'em glued!
Only took half a dozen tries.
I read a trick about putting them in the freezer.
It worked.

I'm happy to learn you succeeded in the repairs. I'll have to remember that freezer technique. Was it done before or after gluing?
