My slide for piece got broke, and was wondering if a joint can be reattached. so I can use it again, I bought other one in the pics as a replacement, the colors are pretty close, but want to fix the original slide

You would have to get it completely clean then I could attempt it. I can't promise it wouldn't break when trying to heat it in the kiln to get it hot enough to attach a joint. You can try asking dankshizzle, he as more experience than me.

salt helps with the 91% or even some plain ol sand. it helps scrape the stuff off when you shake the alcohol around.

want a identical slide, in size,shape,colors, the reversal switchback on the piece matches the slide, its hard to photograph cause the neck is in the way to show design and colors, the slide has the same pattern as the switchback does.

I just fixed a slide with epoxy. I think it was loctite brand. It's been working for the last 2 weeks. No prob.
