Tips - Repairing a Marble Soap Dish - Broken Pieces

Broken marble pieces can easily be reassembled with a bit of ingenuity and some help from a special cyanoacrylate glue.

Start by cutting out a piece of plastic storage bag to fit underneath the assembled pieces.  This will prevent the reassembled marble from sticking to the surface beneath it.
