Hello Everyone,
I am starting on my first figure in resin and there is a chip missing on the collar of the figure. I do not have the chip to replace so would super glue be the best bet to fill in the chip? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Walter

Miliput, Apoxi-Sculpt, or even two part epoxy putty from the hardware store. You may need to over build then trim back, depending on the size of the chip.

Thanks Al!

If the damage is flat against the surface of the figure, resculpting it from epoxy putty is fine. If the collar is away from the surface, a small, thin area can be hard to replicate from epoxy, as the putty has little to grab onto. I find that such repairs often crumble away. For restoring thin edges, gap filling superglue (like Pacer Zap a Gap) is much stronger. I apply a tiny drop and allow it to harden (apply accelerator before the glue, and it will set within seconds). Then carve the glue to shape. It will be soft as styrene for an hour or so, and can also be sanded. After that time, it starts to get harder than the surrounding material, and it will be harder to feather in the repair.

Thanks Gerald! That sounds great.

Thanks !

Walter
