Looking to reset a jade statue back in it’s base. It was originally set with a cream colored material on a wooden stand. Any suggestions, for it is very heavy and my parents have had it since the sixties.
I have a Hand Carved jade elephant that is about 50 yrs old and weighs about 16 pounds My grandparents brought him back from Mexico I believe. Today my cats knocked him over. His trunk broke off clean. Any suggestions where to take him to be repaired? He’s my most treasured possession after my mom passed away. Thank in advance
congratulations! have a jade dragn 2 spikes arrived broken tips but here only instant eposxic available and very liquid. with what make it more not liquid?
You could try mixing the epoxy and check it every few minutes. The epoxy will get thicker as it cures. At some point in time it may be just the right thickness for your use. Good luck.
Amazing. I have never seen sth like this before. Apparently my jade hairpin has broken recently T T.Do you think your way would work out on my problem?
I got mine when I bought out another restorers stock. Do an online search for "artist dry pigments". Don't get the cheap stuff. Any good quality artist pigments is what you want.
Can I use this to fix my jade bracelet??? Its really pretty and was 4000 dollars so I don't want to throw it out ;-; any way to make the cracks invisible???
Extraordinary. Thank you for the detailed explanations.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos they are very instructional and relaxing to watch. I hope you continue to make them.
Fan tastic work , but scary how 'easy' it is to make jade !
What Pete West said. I look forward to each new project.
what is the colored powder called to hide cracks
The colored powder used in this video is paint pigment powders. I'm not sure which powder you're referring to.
Please provide me details where to purchase these types of colour

For a non-permanent bond use "Museum Wax". For a permanent bond use a little bit of epoxy paste.
@@marsgitar Thanks!🌅🎇🎆😎

I wish I could help you. I'm not familiar with what's available in Australia. There are some UV activated epoxies you might look into.

I'd say yes. I've used HXTAL to repair jade items often.
This looks more like bowenite.
