| I asked this on the decorating forum but thought you might have some good answers over here.
1. How do you keep candles sticking upright in a candle holder, not flopping or falling? 2. How do you glue back together a broken resin figurine? I tried tacky glue, superglue and hot glue gun and none of that even thought about sticking. Thanks! |

| If you use a lighter and melt a bit of the bottom of the candle and then stick it back in the candleholder before it hardens, that usually does the trick! I learned that when I was quite young from my Mom :) Another thing I have tried a time or two when I didn't have anything around to melt the candle is to take a bit of a tissue or toilet paper and wrap it around the part that goes in the candle stick. I don't know what to tell you about the glue thing. I have always used super glue and it's worked. Maybe you're using too much or not enough or just not letting it set long enough? |

| Try E-6000, you can get it at Wally. I have never had much luck with super glue but the E-6000 has always worked well. |

| Thanks, Sweets. Superglue sure didn't work on this resin -- tried to glue my fingers together, though. Ingeorgia, thanks, I'll look for that. Luvs, thanks that link is really cool, but it doesn't have resin. |
