Ooops -- and repair work

From: Patty (QuiltsNBees@aol.com) | Date: 2005-08-15 13:15:32 UTC
OK, so has anyone else thought they'd take just one more swipe on that
stamp they're carving before they go to bed -- and oops, sliced right
thru that whatever? Is there any glue (or something) that you can dab
on to repair it?

Bad night. I then proceeded to put facewash on my toothbrush. Yeesh.

Try 100% silicone caulk. Look for a small tube in the hardware store.

We've had good success with liquid nails, which might just be another
name for silicone caulk... Comes in a tube, available at a hardware
store. ~ the B's

Liquid nails worked for me too once.

Also, are you mounting the stamp? If yes, is there any way you can position
the two pieces close enough together when mounting so that it comes out
stamping like one stamp? I did that once also.

I tend to go overboard sometimes in my carving when I should just. leave.
well. enough. alone.!! Sometimes it just pays to go to bed. Or if it's
mid-morning, then sometimes it just pays to go *back* to bed.
