How to mend a broken vinyl toy

ARB · Oct 13, 2018

Guys I need your help: a toy I bought came with a hand+Sword broken off...
Now I want to glue the pieces together.
What is the best glue for that?
Thanks in advance!

A couple of answers that I was given when I asked a similar question a few years ago:

Hey David,

What I would advise for reattachment of the scepter-head would be some “Medium” CA glue from a hobby shop (they will have thin, medium and thick).
Try a test application, even on a piece of cardboard, so you get the hang of how fast it flows (if it’s too fast right out of the bottle, you can squeeze some out onto, say, a yogurt container lid, and then use a junk paintbrush to brush onto the joining edge of the piece. Either way, concentrate your application toward the inner edge of the hole; try not to get any on an area that will be exposed to view, because it may slightly frost the vinyl. With medium CA, it will only take about 30 seconds of holding together to make sure the join is set. Prometheum wasn’t wrong to advise using an epoxy, but they can be trickier to work with, and it would really be more power than you need for this (I assume you won’t be playing “monster war” with him in a dirtpile behind your house).

Hope this helped!

Cheers,
Mike

I've repaired vinyl with Elbers brand Super Glue gel. thick enough to hold it in place, and never got a white halo from it...

Gorilla Glue 5 min 2 part epoxy works well too, but will make your whole house smell like burnt hair!
