I have a nice sized, golden grizzly hide that has several damaged claws. Some are frayed to varying degrees and a couple are frayed and split. Is there a good way to fix these so they appear undamaged. Something other than the superglue fix? If I sand the tips down, the claws will lose their shape and length. Is there a claw colored epoxie or sculpting material around that I could use? Or something that will restore the color and texture? ... Thanks for any help.

Instead of Superglue (which usually doesn't work anyway), I'd suggest the 90 second Epo-Grip to repair the cracks. Once the cracks are repaired and filed down, use the #30 Paste to shape and form your claw back. It takes 6 hours to cure, but can be shaped it not too much is expected to be "free standing". Work it continually during the curing period and before it solidifies, you can polish the claw with a wet hand and give it the final curvature you're looking for. It dries tea colored yet it will have a translucency that will make your claw look natural.
