repaired a refigerator with that stuff?

I can imagine gluing the refigerator door shut when we are all on a diet!

There was an article in the breyer magazine on fixing broken legs. These model horses will be "shown" so they did it the pro way and it looked hard. You couldn't even tell it had happened.

Gorilla glue is awesome stuff!!!! I have repaired a refridgerator with the stuff!!!

it is the duck tape of the liquid glue world. You can fix anything with it, and if it cant be fixed with it its really broke. I glue my new furniture with it when i put it together.(of course i make sure i can still get it out of the door)

Gorilla Glue would do it, my husband uses the epoxy that you mix together . . .not sure what it is called, but its the best stuff. Bad thing is, it makes a pretty good batch of it, so if you have other things that need to be glued, now would be the time to do it!!

I am no longer allowed to handle superglue... I've glued my fingers together one too many times, i guess.

If I really want to try out Gorilla Glue, maybe I ought to wear a helmet and stick my head on a metal beam going up to the tenth floor and I will still be hanging there after half an hour!

If I last that long, then Gorilla glue will be the one to use for the Breyer horses.

This is good advice. I have a few broken Breyers in my herd (I have a lot; most are retired models that were my mom's), mostly Stablemates, that need gluing.

Super glue will fix a lot of things, trust me on that one.

If its a clean break then wash dry and glue and hands off for at least 24 hours.

Get a paper clip and cut a 1" chunk off it. Heat with a lighter and use a pair of pliers to stick it in the amputated leg. Be sure to center it and put it in straight. Then get a paper towel and soak it with cold water and hold the piece that you stuck he paper clip in and heat the other end. Be careful the heat doesn't transfer into the plastic. then stick the other piece on. Works great on power rangers. Just be careful with the heat.
