gluing tortoise platelets on shell

Submitted by nina on 7/17/06 at 11:44 PM. ( nina5150@comcast.net ) 67.181.97.156

what would be the best thing to use when adhering the platelets back onto the shell of a tortoise?I thought bondo would be too thick and stuff like Elmer's glue would be too thin and not hold well.Any suggestions please.thanks

I think I would try Epo-Grip fast set,which is not runny and sets in about 6-10 minutes.I would mix a small amount and glue 1 or 2 at a time so I could keep an eye on them till they set,then move on to the next.
