As the saying goes *chitt happens* via the mail system.  I will not be the last person who incurs this via mail parcel service....


I will repair it as I have looked around.  IT is WORTHY to repair that one bird to go with the other bird IMHO -- so I still have a pair.  Even the one that did not incur the same fate ......  Still has a Value, as a Single bird.  But I am going to try to fix the other bird, as it was a clean break and Not a million glass chards......wHEW....is all I can say about that

I am going to try this glue LOCTITE GLUE - Here to fix the one bird, so I still have a pair.    I believe it worthy to fix, as I am sure not going to toss the one bird out.  Over my dead body......LOL

Any else tried this Glue?  Or maybe it is just from around here...but I will give it a try.  The reviews seem good about it.


I love my birds, they will not be going no where.  The Nest home is Right here.....LOL.  Glad I found them!!

Rose, your bird is in the zoo now at http://sites.google.com/site/muranozoo/birds-by-barovier-toso. That is one good looking bird! You are so lucky.

You could try using the windscreen repair resin. Its about £20. It is hardened by UV light and dries with the same refractive quality as the glass. I tried to fix a chip but the area was too small but should work well with the bird. I get upset at times with damaging glass myself, a piece that has made it through 90 yrs + a boot sale or Charity shop makes it to me in one piece then I break it !!! My latest is dropping a Riedel Crystal Glass, I got it  for a £1 but still feel the loss lol. I would try to sort the bird as they look great as a pair.

Thanks will check into that. 

I have a small UV light here (compliments of fellow UK GMB member  ) and I did FINALLY find a bigger UV light for home (electric) as it is one of those for checking $$$.  So I guess that would work to harden any UV glue that need to dry via a UV light.  Do the smaller ones work as well, since it is more portable?

If we ever see the sun again it will harden in natural sunlight but takes a while. I think the UV lamp has to be fairly strong. I left mine on overnight and that helped but the sunlight set it better as my UV wasnt very strong either.

lol


Moral of the story:  Wait till the brightest, longest day of UV Sunshine.  Here in Canada I better wait a bit...lol
