I have one that broke on one corner- I just use the other corners for squaring up smaller squares - also can still use the good edge for cutting :)
Then I went and bought another one :thumbup:

I don't know if it would work, but Hancocks has their rulers and mats on sale for 40% off the would be what I would do. Maybe you could get someone to cut it down and use it for smaller ruler

I have used crazy glue and glued them back together. I then take a nail file and some the excess glue off the edges so it doesnt hang on the fabric. I did glue it on a piece of marble so that it was nice and flat and smooth, still use those rulers quite often for it is one of my favourites.

I broke one end off a very expensive ruler. It has a sliding part so you can set it and then just butt up against the edge of the fabric. works great, I will have to try the gorilla glue. It still works, but now is shorter and the pin holding the slider is just barely on there. smile...Really love that ruler.....

Try a hardware store or glass shop. I dropped one on the garage floor and it took a chunk out of the corner. Went to the hardware store & he used a cutter or something and made it a straight, angled cut.

Time for a shopping trip. A glass shop should be able to cut it into manageable sizes from what's left. Sooooo sorry! I know how much I love my rulers.

I broke a pretty hand turned bowl that was put together in slices. My dh used gorilla super glue to glue one slice onto the other slice. Trouble was he thought if a little was good, a lot would be great. Did you know that super gorilla glue grows. We had glue coming out on all sides of the bowl. What was a pretty decorative bowl looked like a big glob. LOL.

Try "Gorilla Glue". I have used it on plastic and it holds well. If you use it don't uses too much because it expands as it drys. and don't get it on yourself or clothing. It won't come off.

I broke one of my rulers about five years ago, used the packaging tape (clear - 2-1/2" wide) on both sides - and I'm still using it.
