What is the best way to re attach a broken off bayonet on a 15mm figure?
Thanks |

I wouldn't try to re-attach the original; the contact surface is too small. Unless you like to spend your recreational time re-re-attaching broken bits. Take an ordinary office staple and straighten it out. Snip it to the appropriate length, plus a little extra to attack it down the side of the musket/rifle/whatever. Flatten the spot on the model just a little to make a better contact surface. Attach with cyanoacrylate ("super glue"); but I'd recomend Gorilla brand Super Glue (*NOT* the original Gorilla Glue) as it will sustain knocks and shocks better than ordinary CA. Touch up the paint.
