They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, call me Deacon Blues". Well, my crack repair seemed to work but then it developed another crack when it was too dry to repair . Then while the rhino was drying and very fragile, I bumped it ever so slightly and broke off an ear. I tried repairing the ear with Magic Mend but it was unsuccessful. So I glued it on with epoxy. Since it can not be a beverage container, I just did a quick paint job with acrylic paint. I could put it on a wooden plaque like a mounted rhino head but my wife thinks that's sacrilegious so I guess I won't do that.
