It arrived with one tiki badly broken. She sent it back and received a refund. But then a few weeks later the broken bowl was returned to her. I told her to send it to me and I'd try to repair it. These photos show the ceramic puzzle pieces that I first had to glue together making the tiki whole again. I use multipurpose glue and Elmer's wood putty.

I moved it around with a wet brush. Then putty was added into all the cracked and chipped areas and the carved to match and sanded.

To make this work I will paint all three tikis, so they all look the same. First I do a brown/black layer that goes into all the indented carved areas. The I mix and use the other colors to match the bowl. Once all the painting has dried, I sprayed the entire bowl with a "fix". Atfter that the bowl is done and ready to ship to Nichole.
