We have a vey heavy concrete pagoda in 4 pieces which is siliconed together Silicone is a sealant, not an adhesive. I'd use something like E-6000 or Liquid Nails.

Thimble Hall Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yep I know it is a sealant, but it worked. My SIL used it extensively in his job so I gave him the job to fix the pagoda, which is made of concrete no glue would hold it due to it's weight I guess. The silicone was used and it has now been out in the weather for 4 years/ I also have a concrete bird bath which sits on a pedestal and that is also silicone together. I should add I hate silicone truly hate it. I think it is used to feil gaps from bad building a lot but I had to reluctantly admit it did the job on the pagoda and BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJKK Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Epoxy should do fine with cement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NellBell Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 I used some E6000 because I had it . So we'll see if it holds. It's really not something you use its just decor and felt bad throwing it away . I painted it and put a crown on it now its Shabby chic .

havanaholly Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Will you post an "after" picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'd also like to see an "after" pic - I have a stone dragon who needs his broken tail glued. I haven't tried the E6000 on him yet, but if your bird stays together I will see if it works on the dragon. E6000 is a reliable glue, so it should be good!

I have one broken one left to fix . I have a friend who collects birds with crowns . So I made a few different ones . The crown on the crow took the longest to make so tiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
