BST chrysalis dangling - where to glue?
Comments (4)Please don't try to glue it to anything! If the glue penetrates the body of the chrysalis it'll probably kill it. Since the chrysalis is still attached by the silk pad, carefully scratch around the edges of the pad and tear it off slowly - you'll safely bring the entire chrysalis with it, "un-nicked". Then prop the chrysalis up in a safe place, preferably heads up or sideways (not heads down) which are the natural positions, or, even better, cut out a piece of foam rubber about 3"X2" and cut out a section of it in the center big enough to put the chrysalis in, like a shallow cradle. Then prop the foam rubber against the side of the cage or other safe place. When the butterfly emerges, it then needs to be in a place where it can crawl upward (if it's propped up against the bottom of the cage) and hang upside down for at least 5-6 hours to let the fluids go into the wings and harden them, so it can fly. If you put your chrysalis in a slick plastic container of some sort, then you could line it with paper towels, which butterflies can hold onto, lap it over the top of the container, put bridal veil mesh on top for ventilation, and secure the paper towel and mesh with clothes pins or something like that. Some people put sticks in the container for the newly emerged butterfly to hang onto, but mine never would use sticks. The container needs to be big enough that your butterfly can exercise it's wings, flutter around, maybe even fly a little bit before you release it. Good luck with your future butterfly!

Comments (7)Yes, they drip! Keep something under it of you'll be running around scraping dried hot glue from whatever surface you had it sitting on last! That reminds me that it's time to buy a new one! I haven't had one since last winter. I haven't really missed it BUT I use a glue gun a lot around Christmas time when I get into making ornaments!...See MoreGlue/Adhesive for Use on Glass?
Comments (8)Have you done your glueing yet, YaYa? If not, my favorite for glass (small projects) is Duco Cement. It will even fill/repair a crack or bullet hole in a window pane (don't ask!). You can get it for about $1.00 a tube at hardwares and even some dollar stores. It is great stuff. Here's a link, just so you can see what you'd be looking for...

Comments (2)I did quite a bit of research before repairing all of my clay/terracotta pots in January 2014. I used E6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive. I used the craft version of the glue and I think I may have purchased it at Michaels or maybe Big Lots. The glue has the following desirable properties for this type of repair: Clear Flexible Waterproof Non-flammable Just kidding - that last one wasn't a requirement. :) I didn't have any pots that were completely broken in half, so I don't have any experience putting two or more parts back together, but I had cracks running through many of them. I used a whisk broom to clean them thoroughly of all dirt and debris, inside and out. I brought them inside and did my gluing on newspaper on the kitchen counter. I glued along the crack both on the outside of the pot and, a few days later, on the inside of the pot. I used a toothpick to spread the glue when necessary. I took several days to glue them all, on both sides, the entire length of each crack. I ran the glue several inches beyond the visible end of the crack, too. All of the pots held up perfectly through 2014 and so far, into 2015. The glue does dry a shiny clear, so if you look closely, the glue is visible even though it is clear. I have learned to carry all of my larger expensive pots with two hands. With one hand, you put pressure inside the rim/pot and a cracked pot may break. With two hands, the pressure is on the outside of the pot and it is far less likely to break. Yes, it takes longer to carry them from here to there, but it depends upon how much you like your pot. :) Good luck! Carol in Jacksonville...See Morebessiedawg
