[DIY] Indoor Statue Repair

 

All this talk about cement has reminded me that we have a 4ft tall indoor
angel statue
that the base was chipped when a vacuum cleaner hit it. The company is out
of business
so I can't contact them how to repair it and searching for "indoor angel"
brings back hundreds
of thousands of hits. :-(

Anyway, I *think* the angel is covered in some type of resin with the inside
being some kind of
hardened foam. It's not really heavy (about 20lbs) so I know it's not made
of a wood frame.

I've uploaded two shots of the angel to the photo album "Aki's Album" on the
website in the photos section.
One picture shows the angel and the other shows a closeup of the chip
itself.

I have NO IDEA where to start on repairing this item. I'm hoping someone
here who's familiar or
have repaired these type of statues may have some thoughts. I do know there's no place I'm aware of that does these type of repairs so it's definitely a DIY project.

If it's any help, this statue is strictly indoor, it is not made to be
placed outside.

If anyone has any recommendations on any groups that may be more knowledgeable on repairs like this, I'd really appreciate that as well.
