This lovely Old Plaster figure of Jesus arrived broken in two and with various chips and pieces broken off or missing, including part of his fingers and hair.
It had also been previously glued together with superglue most of which was hand picked off with a scalpel before repairs could begin.

The inside of the two plaster pieces were stabilized with Paraloid B72, and at the clients request a hole was carefully drilled in each half, in order to glue a hardened putty rod in the middle to provide extra support, as the piece was quite heavy.
The missing chips and bare powder areas were also stabilized prior to any modelling or filling being done.

The two main pieces were then taped together and re glued using a specialist two part epoxy called Fynebond, all smaller pieces were glued back in place again with Fynebond.
Once set, the cracks were colour filled with the same epoxy which was tinted with coloured powder pigments to match to minimise the over painting required.

The repairs were painted with Cold Glaze with dry powder pigments to colour.
Finally the repairs were glazed over with Cold Glaze.
