This small tabletop bronze suffered a penetrating fracture that caused a small piece of the extended foot to break off. OnAim did not recommend using brazing or tig welding methods as this would cause the need for a complete stripping and refinishing of the patina and finish. Instead, two small holes were drilled and a small brass rod was installed to create a mechanical lock between the sections. A two-part epoxy was used to join the two together.
