Accident: Antique marble rolling pin now in 2 pieces. Right smack

[yy4me]

in half, clean break. Do you think it can be glued? What glue would you suggest that might work. I'll get another one to use in place of this one but I could never throw it out.

Rosewood and Pewter handles, beautifully mellowed old marble. Oh well.

Have on hand: 5 Minute Epoxy, Gorilla Glue, Elmer's, and contact cement.

Thanks, as always for any help.

1. You can quite possibly glue it together as a decorative object

but no, it will never be useful again as a rolling pin.

2. Be careful with the glue ...... some solvents can stain marble, even if not on the surface

Marble tends to wick things up. Even tile grout used to put down marble floors must be a neutral color or special formulation.

I don't know which glue to suggest.

3. Offhand I'd guess that epoxy would be a better solution here.

But I strongly suggest you call some local place that does marble countertops or tile work. They'll know.

4. Maybe this can lead the way to help

5. I would go with a clear epoxy mix

I would clean the excess with paint thinner on a rag or laquer thinner. I haven,t experimented with gorrila glue yet as there are so many different types of adhesive directed tword the building industry. Good luck with that.

it's a 2 part epoxy, but it is made (i think) for stone and ceramic material. usually can find it in hardware stores. ceramic artists use it all the time. great stuff.
