I broke a small statue at a very weak spot, that I paid $150 for new. I tried numerous brands of epoxy, glues and whatnot, none them held, always came apart from stress of the weight it was holding. I was leery about spending $10 only to have it not work as the others I used, so I thought ok I'll try this stuff but it will be the last time, I'll junk it if it doesn't hold. Amazing, after coating all around the break and using the UV light it held solid, no more weak spot and I can proudly put the item on the mantle.
