I recently bought the Women of the DCU Catwoman bust which is a gorgeous little statue. Almost as recently, my cat knocked it off the bookshelf.

The figure itself is perfect, but the tail snapped off. Is there a particular adhesive that I could easily repair something like this with?

What's it made of? Usually two part epoxy works great, like JB Weld. Tape off the painted areas for bleed over.

It's porcelain. Will JB Weld work for that?

If God Himself were broken, JB Weld would put Him back together.

Yes, it lists porcelain.

About 14 years ago I bought a very used car to get around in. The radiator developed a small leak in it. My boss at the time recommended JB Weld to fix it. I had never heard of it, and was skeptical at best. I bought the J-B Stik Weld, kneaded up a chunk, and stuck it in the area of the leak, then let it sit overnight. I never had the problem again.

America had 3 Mile Island.
USSR had Chernobyl.

But we had JB Weld.
