How can I repair my nutcracker that's missing half a mustache?
Half the mustache fell off my 3’ nutcracker. How can I repair it? Nutcracker is made of some type of fibrous material, not plastic, not wood.
You may be able to repair it with a small gauge wire by looping the wire around the parts multiple times. You can find the wire at home improvement stores. Good luck.
You can try a two part epoxy made for metal or two part epoxy putty. I suggest Locktite or J.B. Weld.
If the mounting metal pieces continue to fall apart, another option might be to buy a plain inexpensive shade with the same mount, that fits snugly inside this one. The light coming through the shade will be a little darker of course due to the increased thickness of the shade, but you could always just use a stronger bulb to compensate for this.
Can you try a splint, it might work. slainte mhath.
Gorilla glue ! Use a small dot at broken area & dry & cure overnight! Gorilla glue us quite handy for lots of things! Don't give up! 😄😄
