I have a bird bath of sentimental value, where the stone support has broken in two.
It does fit back together, and an earlier attempt to stick it with PVA lasted for a short while, but I need a permanent fix.
One obvious route is to drill a hole down the centre of each piece, insert a post of some kind (metal rod?) and fix the whole thing together.
Past experience indicates that I am unlikely to be precise enough in marking up and drilling to get a snug and accurate fix where the two bits just fit together on the post.
So my plan is to make the holes a bit bigger for a "sloppy fit", fix the metal post into one with some kind of cement/glue, then fix offer it up to the other half with more cement/glue.
Big question - what would be a suitable fixative? Secondary question - what to use for the post?
Stone upright is about 160mm in diameter.
Cheers
