[QUOTE="R. Antonis, post: 233859, member: 3943"]But I was thinking.... It's still loose right now. What is the best way to fix it? 1- Glue it back on, I have removed a clump of glue that levelled it right up. This will leave it almost in the same condition I received. (With the big gap). Just a little better. 2- I cut the remnant from the pin, off of the horn. AND cut away a bit of the remnant of the pin inside the base. This will remove the gap, but there's a possibility that gluing it to the remnants in the base won't work. Therefore I would have to glue it to the bowl itself. Then the gap-problem is resolved. Only issues would be whether the glue is or isn't visible from the outside, through the glass. There might be special glue for this, but it's worth a try. But how can I best cut off the remnant from the pin off of the horn? I hope you'll understand my English :D :D[/QUOTE]
