Need help[ gluing together jaw bones

Submitted by Scott on 06/01/2004 at 10:25. ( ) 63.193.177.130

I searched and couldn't find anything on gluing split jawbones back together. Several times I have had the jaw bone seperate at the median. How do you glue it back and make sure it is the correct angle and make it seamless?

Zap It

I put the pieces back together and set them back in the top part of the skull (turned upside down). I use a clamp to hold them together and then run a little ZapIt down the seam. Works for me.

5 minute epoxy

5 minute epoxy. Fast, strong, affordable and reversible. Should you need to have them undone for any reason - simply apply heat with a heat gun and the joint will slowly let go.
