I have seen a few Paulson chips which are broken in 2 pieces (the ones I have seen are never broken inside the inlay/sticker, so these chips tend to have the small inlays).

Has anybody successfully glued the chips back together? Any trade secrets before I go off and make a massacre of my attempt at surgery?

I would say yes you can glue chips back together again. I would get 2 part epoxy that you can get at any home depot. I think it's probably more suited for clay chips. Just mix a small amount and apply with a toothpick or anything that has a small tip so that you can apply small amounts and not huge globs of glue.

Superglue it, just don't use too much (or too little)

Superglue is good for some plastics and terrible on others. Since we are dealing with a mainly plastic item, I would proceed with caution with Crazy Glue. It's great on PVC as well as many others, but I have also seen it make some other types of plastic gooey, with no adhesive quality at all.

Epoxy >> superglue.
Because clay is porous, you want the bonding agent to span any gaps you might have. Superglue would probably work, but it isn't the best tool for this job.

Yeah, superglue does it. I had a So Jo's broken in two pieces. Put some glue on one half, push them together, done. I can't even tell which was the broken one

I used Gorilla glue to fix a damaged Samurai chip - worked great.

I agree....Gorilla glue is awesome for chips and just about anything else.

Thanks Guys - I will give it a shot. Should be a crime to throw away a chip that can be repaired without too much effort (esp a Paulson)
