Accident: Antique marble rolling pin now in 2 pieces. Right smack |
|
in half, clean break. Do you think it can be glued? What glue would you suggest that might work. I'll get another one to use in place of this one but I could never throw it out.
Rosewood and Pewter handles, beautifully mellowed old marble. Oh well.
Have on hand: 5 Minute Epoxy, Gorilla Glue, Elmer's, and contact cement.
Thanks, as always for any help.

1. You can quite possibly glue it together as a decorative object |
|
but no, it will never be useful again as a rolling pin.

2. Be careful with the glue ...... some solvents can stain marble, even if not on the surface |
|
Marble tends to wick things up. Even tile grout used to put down marble floors must be a neutral color or special formulation.
I don't know which glue to suggest.

3. Offhand I'd guess that epoxy would be a better solution here. |
|
But I strongly suggest you call some local place that does marble countertops or tile work. They'll know.

5. I would go with a clear epoxy mix |
|
I would clean the excess with paint thinner on a rag or laquer thinner. I haven,t experimented with gorrila glue yet as there are so many different types of adhesive directed tword the building industry. Good luck with that.

it's a 2 part epoxy, but it is made (i think) for stone and ceramic material. usually can find it in hardware stores. ceramic artists use it all the time. great stuff.
