What is the best/ easiest glue to repair skulls and rejoin split mandibles and loose teeth? Mostly for bear,that are naturally "cleaned" in the bush surrounding long time bear stands and favorite skinning areas. I hear about white Elmer's as a favorite. Is that the same stuff as Elmer's School glue? With a elementary school teacher wife there's always lots of that around and I have used it on loose teeth. I've also heard about 5 minute epoxy for bone repair but haven't tried it; but then I've also heard super glue suggested and as near as I can tell that doesn't work at all. Any suggestions so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? I thought they might have some use/value as outside decorator/curiousity pieces, and I do have a lot of them. | ||

When my Lion skull took a tumble in our last big earthquake a very renowned taxidermist advised me to use 5 minute epoxy. Worked like a charm putting the jigsaw puzzle back together.

Glued a head-shot black bear skull and some split mandibles back together with 5 minute epoxy this morning with seemingly good results except for some small missing bits. Got some Weldbond white glue that dries clear and did what loose teeth pulled easily. | |||

I use a hot glue gun with clear glue sticks.

i just use clear super glue. i run a bead on the inside of all of the teeth of all of the euro's i do just in case. my wildebeest came back over-boiled and several bones were splitting. only so much i can do to get them back together, but superglue works well in holding it in place. | |||
