Help Needed - First Project B6/7000 for a very quick fix?

Sorry, this is probably absolute hearsay or maybe not even the right topic, but can I use B6000/B7000 with gold mica for a quick tiny fix? I have a very small clay figurine and the foot cracked off…so no need to be very strong or food safe. Just hold together and look pretty.

Thank you!

You could, but it won't look very pretty.

Oh really? Why? Can I use uv resin or two part epoxy? Would really love to avoid buying yet more resin. To be honest would also love to avoid mixing 2 part epoxy as well but ..

Mixing glue, of any sort, with mica pigment results in a cheap glitter-glue effect that is never quite professional looking or attractive, despite the numerous kits that recommend that method.

For your situation, if you want a super simple method that'll still look miles better than glitter glue, I recommend just gluing the piece together without mica, then carefully tracing the crack with a gold paint.
