Subject: Broken wax candle repair

Question
Neecie,

I broke the arm off a hand painted "Uncle Sam" figure candle and need to know how to repair it with some type of glue. It's a clean break so it looks like it can be an invisible fix with the right glue. Can I use wood glue, Gorilla glue or Super Glue? If not, can you suggest a particular type of glue?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Chris,
I've never been a big fan of Gorilla Glue. I'd try and use a super glue and see if that would work. I don't have much experience on candle repair other than taking the whole thing and doing a remelt. It sounds like you wouldn't be able to do that with this.
