Thread: Help please......Repair and Identification..

Have you tried Hot Stuff CA? It's a super glue with the consistency of water, so it fills in the finest cracks. I've read it works well for repairing finishing stones.

That's painful...
My guess would be it's a Thuringian stone.
I think the only option it to glue it, lap it and see it you feel anything (or any damage) when you run a razor over it.

+1 on the CA. Better compression more even bond line. Gorilla glue can expand. 2 part epoxy can too if you whip enough air into it. Then you get bubbles which are weak spots. There are many choices, Loctite should have a iso-cyanate version that would work well enough too.
All of these are brittle when cured so be careful Oh, looks like an Escher to me. I always try to keep my stones over some kind of padding when working with them. Oh well it happens. It's only a stone, maybe a better one will come along.
