Resin Antler Lamp
People bring me things to fix.
I've recently had a number of people ask about Mister Glue and resin. Does it work? Well, the best way to tell you is to show you. In the video below, you can see that a small piece of the resin antler broke off the lamp. Make sure that the surfaces fit together well and that you know where they are going so that you don't have to mess with it too much once you have the glue applied. Here, I applied the Accelerator to one side first. Give that about 20-30 seconds exposed to air before you apply the glue to the other side. Once you have applied Mister Glue to the other side, you can push the two pieces together. You don't have to rush but don't wait around forever either. The less moving around once the two pieces are together, the better.
Press firmly together. The tighter the fit, the better the bond. You want to make sure that the whole surface is covered with the glue so often some may squeeze out. If this happens, try and let set up and gently scrape off. That way it won't smear. Also, place a piece of cardboard or something (not cloth) underneath. If it drips onto a nice table surface or something, you won't be happy. We can't have that.
The best package for resin repair is:
Also, in the video I only held the two pieces together for about 10 seconds. Not all resin is created equal. I recommend 20-30 seconds. And let it sit and fully cure before you start banging it around or flicking your finger against it like I did here. Do as I say, not as I do!
Watch this short video and you can see how simple this is:
