My lovely wife decided to paint a room and while moving the Fittante Replica off the wall she accidentally broke one of the fins off. I've emailed Joe about a solution to glue it back on. It looks like its a clean break and maybe, just maybe I can somehow glue it back on w/o anyone noticing?

Here's the problem...glue it on but 'you'll know'. I suggest the wife let you chase a bigger fish and then get a new replica. For her birthday of course...:)

Use super glue first in the back, then on the front. When doing the front, move your applicater along the fin ray ridges so as it dries you won't have ridges running the wrong direction.

Some great responses! Love it. Joe Fittante emailed me back and said 2 Minute Expoy works great and if you have a glue that will work as well. It wasn't a clean break..the fin broke off clean and when it hit the floor a small piece broke off the fin. I was able to glue the fin back together and so far you can't even tell. As soon as that's completely dry then i'll glue the fin back on the fish. Thanks for the tips guys!!!
