Re-attaching fragile or salient pieces on miniatures?

[MiniPigs]

Assuming one doesn't have a workshop but just an average kitchen to work in, any recommendations on how to stabilize fragile or difficult pieces while the epoxy is drying?

For instance, if an arm, tail or antenna breaks off and they are in a difficult position, not easily propped by whatever object, are there any Lo-Tek solutions to hold the part in place?

Blue tac on the part and a pencil on a container or the side of a container to hold it in place.

I usually build a Blu-Tac tentacle for little bits or hold it with masking tape for larger bits.

As Snitcy and Cubs say blu-Tac is very useful but I’ve also recently had great success holding an old plastic kit in position whilst it dried using vetwrap (self adhesive rubberised bandage used to wrap animal wounds and horse ankles - although you can buy an expensive human version!) as it is soft, flexible, sticks to itself and leaves no residue. You can also cut it to fit odd shapes/gaps and it’s all reusable.

Hope this helps,

I sometimes use a small drop of superglue to hold a part while slow-curing glue does it’s work
