Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm not sure that superglue is the answer Tina. I would have thought that the chemicals in the clue would have a divers affect on the crystals performance. I would suggest using it as two rather than sticking it back together, and get yourself a new one when you can but I'm sure Peggy would know what would be best!
