Window "sill" in marble broke off

Suspect that this is the glue being referred to:

I don't know anything about it myself, how it differs from other "super glues".

Thanks, perhaps it was this glue. Now I read on Biltema's website:

Hazard
EUH202 Cyanoacrylate. Danger. Bonds skin and eyes instantly. Keep out of reach of children.
EUH208 Contains 1,4-dihydroxybenzene; hydroquinone; quino. May produce an allergic reaction.
H222 Extremely flammable aerosol.
H229 Pressurized container: May burst if heated.
H315 Causes skin irritation.
H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
H335 May cause respiratory irritation.
H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
H361 Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
H373 May cause damage to organs .? through prolonged or repeated exposure .?.
H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

Poison in cubic form, sort of. Stoneware ceramics can be "glued" with a solution of the clay, called "slip" (kind of) but finding a less toxic glue equivalent for this limestone window "sill" might not be possible? It would be interesting to investigate if there are better alternatives before I give up and resort to the "poison mix"...

It would be fun to investigate if there are better alternatives before I give up and press on the "poison mixture"...

It is only toxic before curing. Then it becomes completely harmless. You were going to glue it, not eat it? 😉

 

[hogdalen]

It's only toxic before curing. Once cured, it's completely harmless. You were planning to glue, not eat it, right? 😉

Hehe, no, of course, I suppose that's the end of the conversation unless one gets the idea to glue teeth together once and for all. Maybe a good dieting trick instead of the celebrities' "ozempic" epidemic...
But then there's the whole mess with the PFAS plastic poison that Ronneby is struggling with, "we didn't mean any harm" and then they unleash hormone-disrupting substances to the extent that now the fish in the stream are wiped out ... oh well, every little bit helps, and so on. I mean, the less poison in general, the better, right? But I guess I'll go with the "cyanoacrylate" tip unless something better comes up. (And the price isn't really worth mentioning.) Good tip about using a "ruler," thanks for that!

Haha,

I have actually used it to glue wounds together. Stings a bit, but a shorter line than at the emergency room. Didn't dare to spray accelerator on it though.

Also glued a cracked nail that had a close encounter with a threshold, didn't adhere well and only held for a day but was enough for the skin underneath to heal a bit.

That's a foam, it doesn't provide much of a joint in this case.

 

[hogdalen]

That is a foam, it doesn't provide a good joint in this case.

OK, not Pu700 then in this case with the limestone tile?

OK, not Pu700 then in this case with the limestone slab?

Never used it myself, but it sounds like an adhesive for completely different types of situations. The fact that it's a foam probably makes it difficult to get a nice and minimal joint that can be sanded smooth. I think superglue is stronger. You might be able to use superglue in the fracture and attach a reinforcement with pu700, but it mostly sounds like complicating things.

Yes, how do I repair such a thing? A brown fifties marble with fossils inside. Suggestions are gratefully received.

Contact a manufacturer and ask/recommend.
