Hi there. I was hoping someone in the community could refer me to someone who could do repair work on a resin garden statue (metal structure inside, about 2 feet tall) that is cracked. I have no idea where to go to get it fixed and although I probably could do it, I would prefer a professional or at least someone well versed in working with the materials who would make it look like new.

Anyone in Alexandria VA fitting the description? Thanks!

If this is an import from China and from a big box type store. You can repair it with auto body polyester resin the brushable works well and the you can part it with the new plastic paint in the spray can. works well.If it looks something like this one in the picture. you probably have to repair it every year as being outside in the weather even if mild changes they all seem to develop cracks,splits ect. This one has had numerous cracks and thin spots repaired. With both the polyester resin and epoxy 2 part resin The polyester works better as you can sculpt it or tool it if need be. Hope this helps :D
