Concrete statue repair

What kind of paint do you use?

[@SaveonDIY]

I used acrylic paint

Why does no one show what kind of cement they use

[@SaveonDIY]

I’m sorry I thought I mentioned in the video. I just bought Portland Cement. You can get it at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Any general cement will do. Type 1 Cement means general purpose.

My question is why are the heads breaking off of all of your religious statues? Demons perhaps? LOL! All kidding aside, I have a concrete birdbath that has bowl broken into two pieces. I see other videos in which they use construction adhesive to glue it together and then fill in the crack with concrete repair or cement. Do you not recommend using construction adhesive? Does the cement form a strong enough bond between the two pieces?

[@canonlensesandcameras4425]

construction adhsive can be used but in hot and cold temps can come loose you can use plyable adhesive in stead or use a cement with glue in it.

I haven’t tried adhesive. I would be concerned about the strength of the bond especially adding water to the weight. I anchor with rebars or a boot and the cement hold fine.
The broke heads are from angry kids trying to get back…
