[Shop-talk] Gluing an awkward shape

[Jack Brooks]

Rubber bands.  Make them just tight enough to hold the joint together and
squeeze out any excess glue.  They are inexpensive, come in a variety of
sizes and most importantly, keep a constant tension and do not slip.

I often use blue painter's tape to hold small things together while glue
dries.
Just be careful to not let lots of glue come out of the joint and glue to
the
tape.

My cousin just asked me to try to repair a wooden giraffe carving he
purchased
many years ago in Africa.B  The statue (I think it is about 1 ft tall) fell
and
broke into three pieces: the bottom of the neck snapped off from the body
and
the body snapped off from the base.B  Ibm game to give it a try, but stuck
trying to figure out how to excerpt proper clamping force on the two joints,
especially the neck joint. Are the special clamps that might do the trick,
or
special tricks that anyone knows?

Thanks,
