How do I tuft down pillows to keep the fill from sliding to the top? Noni on Dec 17, A little history about this statue.

A neighbor brought this statue to me to see if it could be repaired. It was part of a matching set that his grandfather had brought over from Scotland years ago. He had taken it to a shop to be repaired and the repair did not work. I told him that I would look into it and see if I could find a shop to repair it.

None of the places I contacted wanted to try to repair it. I talked to him about using JB Weld to repair it. I have had great sucess using JB Weld repairing different things, but since it was an antique that he valued I would be really nervous about using it. He said at this point he would try anything and would appreciate it if I would try to repair it.

Use a soft cloth to apply the cleanser, rubbing it in with a circular motion. LPT If you have dents in your metal hip flask , fill it with water, screw the top on tight, and put it in the freezer.

Push the dapping block gently into the space where the dent is. Remove dents from hollow silver items such as candlesticks by pouring water inside the hollow space. Can Pewter be welded? Many have been sucessful using a TIG welder low amp setting using a thin strip of pewter sheet as a filler rod. Silver is also sometimes used. Copper and Antimony act as hardeners while Lead is common in the lower grades of Pewter , which have a bluish tint.

It resists tarnish, retaining its colour and finish indefinitely. Pewter work is usually cast, then further finished by hammering, turning on a lathe, burnishing, and sometimes engraving. Some items, such as snuffboxes, were constructed from separate pewter pieces and then soldered together. J-B Weld will not adhere or bond well to: Any flexible rubber surface. General Principles: Although JB WELD makes an excellent fillerand can even be used to cast small parts, it is not remotely as strong as real metal used this way.

J-B Weld is The Original Cold Weld two-part epoxy system that provides strong, lasting repairs to metal and multiple surfaces. Mixed at a ratio of , it forms a permanent bond and can be shaped, tapped, filed, sanded and drilled after curing.

For the best bond, surfaces should be roughened or scratched with fine or coarse sandpaper. When fully cured, J-B Weld can be drilled, formed, ground, tapped, machined, sanded , and painted. JB weld and powder coat are not likely to work well together. Powder coat often cures at degrees. Aluminum and JB heated together will expand at different rates likely giving an uneven finish. Far better to apply additonal layers , if need be for build up, as soon as the first layer has "set up" to where it's stable.

Welding is preferred, but the JB will work. You ought to knock the holes in very slightly so you won't end up sanding the JB completely off.

You 'd be best off following the sanding of the JB to put a skim of regular plastic filler over the whole repair and proceeding with primer and paint after that.
