How to repair an outdoor cement statue
+4
I have two small deer garden statues, the ear and the tail have lost the cement. How can I repair on them? Is there a product out that I can use to reconstruct the ear and the tail? Would appreciate any help...

I use an exterior concrete cement bonding putty. It comes in powder form and you mix liquid latex with it. The key is to have some sort of thin nylon mesh between the cleaned bond area and the repaired section. You can even create missing pieces using this and they hold up for decades (so far 20 years!). The fabric (I have used a small piece of tulle, ballet skirt mesh) to both adhere missing parts and bond new sections. It reinforces the bond like rebar!

I repaired my mothers statues with epoxy putty. It is moldable before it sets up. I smooth it with water and my fingers. It sets up quickly, but you have time to work with it, and can build up the layers. It is also sandable and paintable once cured. You can purchase it at WM. Very inexpensive and easy to use.It is made to be used on concrete and other surfaces.
