I had a stone gnome I fixed using stepping stone concrete. I just had to do it in steps to build the pointed hat back up. It took some time to complete because I did a little and then had to let that dry. I just used waxed paper to sort of make a template and taped it to the top part of the gnome where the hat broke. Once all the layers of concrete were dry I peeled the waxed paper off and then painted it. Looks good as new and has been back in my Pennsylvania garden ever since and still looks good. -

I have the perfect repair products to suggest to you.You’ll be able to patch ( or reform lost pieces) with this epoxy putty but you’ll need to repaint the patch with the correct color after the repair.https://www.oatey.com/2373255/Product/Oatey-Fix-It-Stick-Epoxy-PuttyIve repaird so many things with the Oatey epoxy putty stick! Potery statues, wood candlesticks etc. Even a garage laundry sink with a hole ( thanks for hiding that defect with carrots -previous homeowner).It's a two-part epoxy sticky-found at big box hardware stores for about $6.You mix press -then you can use scrape off excess (I use depleted gift card) and/or sand and paint. Cured putty is strong enough to drill through. Its a light grey putty. After your satisfied with the final sanded surface ( if needed) repaint as desired.Oatey Putty safely seals/waterproofs for plumbing boat repairs.... Ive used it for exterior entry door frame wood rot repair, elliptical pedal repair, multiple arts and crafts repair of pottery- wood -ceramics.Every home owner crafter or second hand shopper need a 2 part putty epoxy stick!You can find other expensive and smaller 2 part epoxy sticks versions in the boat marine and wood repair sections this Oatey one is a great value.![]()
