Hello and Welcome to my little, sadly now, time sensitive project.

To get you all up to speed I present this rehash with pictures;

"Good Evening all!
It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I was gifted something and I think it's pretty cool, I hope you will too. Provenance wise we know it was purchased in 1978 by my friend's former boss for a luau party at a Swinge-uuhh.... "Adult Social Club" :wink:, where it stayed and presided over the hot tub area until the club closed for good in July of 2015. Sadly somehow during the last party it was knocked over and the top broke off (I've got the piece, don't worry) The act of fixing it will probably get a thread of it's own. Anyway, without further ado;

"

Okay, here is my situation. Our landlord has decided to sell our rental so we are frantically looking for a place to live and I would like to at least get this guy in one piece before we go, and fix the cracks and paint scrapes later once we're settled.

Has anyone repaired one of these before? My preliminary search didn't pick up any threads on this topic. And honestly I don't know if this is even the best place to put this but here goes;

I've worked with foam before doing Halloween stuff and I've been going back and forth between two options;

Option 1: Use Liquid Nails to do the gluing, a little plastic wood to rebuild the chipped areas, then some color matched Drylok paint for the touch ups.

Option 2: Brush on some Gorilla Glue and give it the faintest mist of some water to do the gluing, then a little plastic wood to rebuild the chipped areas, then some color matched Drylok paint for the touch ups.

Is there a third, better, option I don't know about?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for stopping by
