Help I have a big problem
#1
Due to the weather we moved some of my sewing stuff up to the front of the house. My sewingroom is very cold and in these frigid times it is not cost effective to try and keep it warm. I brought my large quilting table for my sewing machine out and set it on the dining table one of my big boys (cats) was up rolling around it heard a large bang and saw it laying on the floor broke the corner off it it is acrylic does anyone have any idea of how to put it back together. I really hate to have to buy a new one They dont make them for either of my vikings any more and I can only find the quilters kits on Ebay they are 279 dollars
I tried tape that wont work.

Try Gorilla glue. My DH was filling out humidifier and the acrylic canister slipped and cracked all over the place. He glue it with Gorilla Glue (don't look very good) by it holds the water. So I would think it would work on your table.

Usually the epoxy products do the best job and will clean off so it is smooth again. You will need to devise some way of clamping it while it drys. I would take the broken off piece with me to somewhere like Lowes and ask for help! If it is too thick for, say, clothes pins to hold in in place while it dries, ask them about clamps, too. good luck!

I'm not too sure about what this looks like, but could you possibly put another layer of wood/plastic/plexiglass under it for strength
after it is glued back together?
Maybe even glue the two layers together? Or is the height just right as it is now?
