How to Fix a Broken Snowman's Leg

I bought the 3 small snowmen (Valerie), and one of the legs broke off.  Does anyone know how I can fix it?  I used Krazy Glue, but it is not adhering to the base of the leg.  I currently have him/her held up by a green tree (Valerie), but it is not very stable.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

What is the snowman made of? I have never found crazy glue to be very good.

 

Gorilla glue is good and now comes in clear. Very strong.

@Carol08  I prefer using an epoxy instead of a super glue...but that also depends on the material the object is made of too. There is a lot of info explaining the differences online...hth Smiley Happy

 

@BirdieGal  's suggestion of Gorilla Glue is good too Smiley Happy

Thanks for the item number.  I checked and the snowman is made of resin.   I use Gorilla Glue and Elmer's Glue, depending on which I have in house, to repair my resin and ceramic pieces.   With my years with furbabies I have done a lot of major "surgeries" thanks to active furbabies and their tails.

Thanks so much for your advice!  I will pick up some Gorilla glue the next time I go to the store.  I tried using nail glue - but that didn't work.  I put tape on the "snow" but that didn't do any good, either.

I've had excellent luck with the Loctite stick and seal glue (it's even held on my cracked car bumper LOL).  Dries clear and holds nicely.  Doesn't take long for it to stick so you don't have to hold it in place forever for it to dry.
