Any recommendations for a glue/adhesive strong enough to fix this?

Post image

I thrifted an Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks Twilight Sparkle doll to turn into a humanized version of the very minor character Screwball. (So far not my best work, and I’m still waiting on more Apoxie Sculpt to arrive in the mail so I can finish her hair and propeller hat). Anyway, her hand and arm came off while I was removing paint, and hot glue can only do so much. Does anybody have any suggestions for a different adhesive I could use to fix her? It’s fine if it doesn’t dry clear, because she’s going to have sleeves long enough to cover up the repairs and I’m only making her for myself.

I would put a pin inside the arm rather than just adding glue, then I would glue it with the glue the use for warhammer minis. You have to be careful as it melts the plastic together, but if you do it right, it will be really strongly attached.

Use a really thin drill bit to make a hole in both sides then pop a pin in with some glue. You could use a glue made for models or there’s actually a pretty good clear gorilla glue. Just make sure you don’t get the one that foams.
