i received an old chalkware item in the mail today. a large piece, of the last supper. 2 feet by 10 or 12 inches. however, when it arrived it was damged. i really want to try and repair it. or have it repaired. it is the exact duplicate of the one that my mother used to have hanging in our home when we were kids. i don't know what ever happened to the one she had. and my find for this one...the chances of it happening would normally be slim and none, but there is was with just one try. i collected the pieces as best i could...but the cracks in it are all the way through. i have pics of it. i have managed to menuver it so not to disturb the cracks. i feared that it would be too hard to get them back together once apart. gosh i hope that someone can help. thank you, --mafi

My fiancee collected chalkware. My experience with it tells me that only certain glues will work with it. If there are fractures in the piece that have not resulted in pieces falling off, DO NOTHING. If they do end up breaking a piece off, glue it back with white glue, NOT epoxy or super glue.
