Marver HELP!?
I just quit smoking this week, and have been totally spastic (decades and decades of smoking)!! 2 nites ago, I dropped an entire sculpture on top of my torch marver, and this happened:
Here is the remaining stand, and how it's mounted to my torch:
Here is what it's supposed to look like (just parked on top of the torch, it wont' stay there):
I have no idea what to do... should I try sticking both parts in the torch and trying to weld it back together again at the solder??
As you can see from the first pix, the bottom is very smooth so it wasn't strongly attached and came off cleanly.
I've never welded anything in my life... any suggestions?? I don't think the people who made this are still making them, or I'd ask them directly.
Any help would be appreciated .

The Raz Steadyrest marver was originally glued together with JB Weld (it's a 2-part epoxy like glue). You can fix yours with it too. Just make sure you remove as much old glue as possible, and roughen up the surfaces before gluing.

Like Malcolm and Wendy said lol. It looks like there was never a real good bond between the adhesive and the plate for your marver, that is why it popped off so neatly. After you scrape all the dried adhesive off, take a good medium grit sandpaper and rough up both surfaces the adhesive needs to stick to. Make sure you go and use tack cloth or some other means to remove the dust from sanding prior to gluing it back together so you will get a good bond.

I'm good at beating up things (no comments from either of you pweeze )!
Think REGULAR epoxy will work? I just happen to have some... or does it have to be that brand??

You can try it ... What's the worse thing that can happen?
(It'll fall apart while you're using it, and the epoxy will burst into flames! )

Well... that would brighten my day...
LOL!
Actually, so long as I do not use it as a marver (as I'd been doing) and only use it as a handrest... it shouldn't be a problem...

But did you save the sculpture? Hope it didn't bounce onto your lap!
