- I restore a "Uriela" statue for the California State Parks at Benicia, California. She will be displayed at the mansion next to the original state house in Benicia, Ca. This statue is somewhat larger than the typical statue I get in for repair here at Tesserak Restoration. Watch as I restore this statue to her original condition.

Thank you very much Martin, I enjoyed watching this video, for I have a statue of Bruce Lee with the same problem as the Uriela Statue. Right arm broken off though only half the thumb on the left hand is gone. I am no expert like you, I am going to have a go at fixing it. I have just read some of your replies, the ones down further are not very complementary. As for me I think you did a great job, the people at the Benicia, California state park must have enjoyed receiving the statue back.
Beautifully done 😍
Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and helpful.

This is amazing
Very helpful video, I have been fixing nativity statues for my son's school. I have the statue fixing bug now. 🐛😂
Glad it helped!
Great work 🍻
I wish you would say how you made the filler. Also do you mix epoxy with plaster?
Very nice video Martin. Thanks. I'm curious how old the statue is and of what material it was originally cast? Is it some old fashioned style resin or actually plaster or aggregate?
David Koloc: Thank you! I don't know the age of the statue. You might run that question by the people at the Benicia, California state park people. The statue was cast in plaster.
@@marsgitar Thanks. People are getting so good at making things look old, it's hard to tell what's truly antique and what's replicated. I noticed the off color of the cast material in the cross sections of the breaks and wondered if it was aged or naturally that yellowish. Take care and keep up the good work.
Hi - this is fantastic work. I have been given an old mermaid statue to try to re-paint but the original paint is all curling and flaking off. Can you advise me how best to take of the layers and what paint I should use if it is going to be hung outside?
Thanks for the compliment.
Paint removal method depends on what the statue is made of. If it is plaster, or alabaster it will not survive outdoors. They won't stand up to the weather - even under shelter. Read the directions on the paint remover package to make sure it's compatible with what ever the statue is made of. If wood, stone or metal, paint remover should do the job. As far as paint, a good quality solvent based exterior enamel paint would work. Good luck to you.
Great job! What type material used to build fingers? Can this epoxy be use on granite material ?
Rezinol A+B epoxy putty.
Do you usse plaster to build the fingers?
It looks fantastic. Great skills
Thanks for the compliment. On this project I used A+B brand epoxy putty over a wire armature.
It was a great video , but poor sound quality. I could barely hear you
Great video but can't hear,what did you use for the fingers?
I took on a project of restoring a sacred heart Jesus statue for a friend that’s about 2 feet tall. I appreciate this video - especially for the product suggestions. Luckily I’m an artist & creatively can fix about anything…BUT…she brought me this statue (painted solid black) after finding it in an unused shed - and after she tried to remove the paint. Ugh. It appears to be plaster over a porous stone base…possibly a sandstone of sorts. Much will have to be built up, and a smooth coat over all of it since it now has harsh brush marks from the paint removal. Yet, with all that, I still have to figure out how to get the hard black paint off in the crevices & hoping not to inflict more damage. Any suggestions? Thank u in advance!
I don't work on plaster objects and statuary, so I can only offer a little advise. I use "Jasco paint and epoxy remover" for removing paint from the objects I work on. Don't leave it on raw plaster very long (not more than 10-15 min.) before rinsing it off. Even then you have to let the plaster "air out" for a few days afterwards to let all the chemical fumes to evaporate out of the plaster before putting any finishes over it.
Beyond that, I can offer any suggestions to address your problem. Perhaps consult with someone who specializes in plaster statuary.
Good luck to you.
@@marsgitar Thank you for your suggestion. I actually eyed the Jasco product, but having used one of their products to remove flooring adhesive (which ate thru several surgical gloves) I kept on moving! Serious stuff, no doubt…fumes are nasty! Interestingly, I just found some small rectangular sanding blocks, which are actually for fingernail buffing, so extremely fine grit. These may work in some areas…sculpting metal files elsewhere. Have my work cut out for me! Thank u again! Love your videos!
I need my 3ft Betty boop statue repair she has slight cracks in the back of her neck any suggestions will help I live in Los Angeles, Calif thank you so much Maggie:)
No, sorry. I need more info on this in order to help. Sorry for the delay in responding.
The top finger should be a bit thinner im here try to repair 3 LLardo figurine with missing fingers
Have you any more wood restore peices. Would love to see them
As a ceramic restoration studio, I don't do much with wood.
Trying to follow long with the fingers restoration. Did you use epoxy paste or putty for the anchoring of the armature? Also for the fine build up, what product did you use. In the past I've used apoxie sculpt but couldn't get the level of details that you got.
I used Rezolin A+B epoxy putty to anchor the armatures (the tan stuff). I used Milliput epoxy putty for the fine fills (the white stuff).
@@marsgitar Awesome thanks!
May have been better to form the wire into loops so that you can stop the filler from rotating on armatures
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
buenas noches podrias decirme que aerografo utilizas
Yo uso aerógrafo Iwata HP-CH
what kind of white material is that you used for the fingers?
I'm using Resinol A+B epoxy putty. The finer fills were with Milliput superfine white epoxy putty.
I learn something new every video! The hard epoxy is the A&B Epoxy putty and the softer (easier to sand down) finer putty is Milliput?
Kelleen: that is correct.
Can't hear
You didn't say what kind or brand of epoxy . What is the filler made up of?
What kind of holding tape?
The white filler is Milliput. The fingers are made from A+B brand epoxy putty. The tape is masking tape.
What kind of paint did you use for the airbrush?
Golden's brand acrylic airbrush paint. The or their "high flow" acrylics.
You look a bit like Humphrey Bogart sir.
What type of lakier Do you use? after all operations
I use "Cold Glaze Pro 2" made by Sylmasta company.
@@marsgitar Thanks :) What type of paint? acrylik?
@@wood-artdesign
Yes. Golden's brand acrylic paints and mediums.
@@marsgitar mediums is it brands too?
Yes, Golden's mediums.@@wood-artdesign
what is the fill made from
The fills are done with A+B brand epoxy putty for the deep fills and bulk fills. I use Milliput brand epoxy putty for the finer fills.
What do you charge for this
I don't recall how much I charged for this repair. I'd guess it was in the $300 - $400 range.
What type of tape do you use?
In this case I'm using masking tape.
What kind of fill did you use?
The fills are A+B brand epoxy and Superfine White Milliput brand epoxy.
Do u mix the two types of fill together?
@@danamorvant4681 - Yes, sometimes, but not at the same time.
Real black peoples palms are not the same color as the rest of our skin that issue makes the entire statue seem a bit off like instead of that being her skin it's jus paint lol
Yes, I am aware of that. However, I had to match the existing paint job on the statue.
@@marsgitar oh the comment wasn't really directed at you, you were simply matching the original
