Diecast Repair

[apex27]

Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone had any resources or insight out there.

A few years ago I moved and unfortunately, ripped a mirror off a 1:18 Minichamps F1 car.

I never got around to reattaching it and now I want to.

What kind of glue should I be using?

Crazy glue usually works well.

If you can't figure out or it is too badly damaged, check with TOMO as they have repaired a few models for me.

I prefer a tiny dab of epoxy myself. Crazy glue works well on clean breaks where the surfaces meet together very tightly, but won't fill any gaps like epoxy will. Use quick drying and use as little as possible.

I've always built my kits with epoxy (BBR, etc.) and they hold up much better than those made with crazy glue (super glue/cyanoacrylate)
