So the NerdPie’s dress up shoes came apart. She just got them handed down to her from her sister and was so excited!!! But within 1 week one of the shoes came apart. She was so pathetic as she brought it to me in 2 pieces. I had to convince her that she couldn’t just walk around in 1;).

Upon examination I saw that the structure was a peg and hole construction. With the right glue this would fix right up!

 

So after a trip to Walmart I was ready to go! I got the gel super glue because it is a little easier to control and comes out a touch slower. Less likely to glue your fingers together that way!

So I just squeezed a little glue into each hole. Then I waited about 10 seconds for the glue to set just a bit before hooking the 2 pieces together. If you let the glue get a little tacky it is less like to squeeze all out as soon as you apply pressure (throw back to my bridge building days;).

After the gluing you need to apply pressure and allow it to set for 12-24 hours. Who needs clamps or grips when you have rubber bands? They are free so I am a happy camper;). I just set it all aside to cure. and then…..

It is that easy!
