I am glad to see you showing your kids that things can be repaired and reused. Not to just throw it away and get a new one.

[@LittleRestorers]

[@DANYMITERESTORATION]

man I was wondering how you were going to put it back together - so appreciate sustainability, this would have been thrown out and you breathed a new life to it. Amazing job!

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Really appreciate you watching my work.This was definitely going to end up in the bin and not sits nicely in my garden. The mosquitoes love it, the birds not so much 🤣🤭👩‍🔧

[@DANYMITERESTORATION]

@@LittleRestorers ha ha but your kids brought in the birds and it was put to use. Loved it!

Beautiful job fixing that. Can’t see the damage at all. How hard was it to match up the dowels? Looks as if that may have caused some heartache. Be interested how you did that. Great to see your little helpers getting into it. Bet you they had a ball with the paint.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate. Yes aligning the dowels was a bit tricky. I cut shorter ones which sat almost flush with the other piece. Bit of paint on the tip to mark the other side. I'll send u a pic 😉

[@leeannluigi1644]

​@@LittleRestorershow do you match up the dowels? I can't figure it out. Thanks!

[@LittleRestorers]

@leeannluigi1644 The way I did it was to centre the dowels where i wanted them on one side and drilled the holes. Then, use another set of dowels that are flushed with the surface and put paint on the tip. As i sat the top piece on top, the paint marked the spot on the other side. Then drilled and glued in place.

[@jimmeh213]

Possibly could have tinted the powder with red oxide. Great job either way 👍🏼

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Yes lots of options possible. We have sandstone color bricks in the backyard so wanted to lean towards that shade.😉👍👩‍🔧

[@MoonLeaf_RaquelLeBaudour]

Where do I find a little power washer like that?! Excellent video! Thank you! 🍃🙏🏽🍃

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you for watching. The pressure washer is " Karcher" brand. 👍

[@MoonLeaf_RaquelLeBaudour]

@@LittleRestorers You are awesome! Again, thank you! 🍃🙏🏽🍃

[@dnormandin91945]

Do you have a product list that shows what brand you used?

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching- I do show the different types of products on screen- example : liquid nail, external crack filler... I don't show brands because you might not have the same ones in your country 😉

[@Chrissiesmile]

Hi again I now going to try and fix my one. What size dowels did you use?

[@LittleRestorers]

Hi , I think they were 10mm thick. The trick is to get the 2 parts well aligned before u drill the opposite side. Use a bit of paint on the tip of the dowel to get the right spot on the other side. Good luck 👍

[@Chrissiesmile]

Will do that thanks 😊

[@LittleRestorers]

@@Chrissiesmile 👍

[@MoonLeaf_RaquelLeBaudour]

Why do you only seal the outside of the bowl? Thank you! 🍃✌🏽🍃

[@LittleRestorers]

For the outside of the bowl and the statue I used a 3 in 1 ( primer/sealant/undercoat). The inside of the bowl (the part holding water )was waterproofed so water does not leak out. For the outside of the bowl I applied the paint straight & wiped off. For the inside I mixed the paint with the weather seal/ waterproofing and painted it. Thanks @LittleRestorers

[@MoonLeaf_RaquelLeBaudour]

@@LittleRestorers Thank you for your reply! 🍃🙏🏽🍃

[@samscott54]

cheap cinch straps work a lot better! nice job tho! thx

[@LittleRestorers]

Definitely. Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂

[@christophergeorge8800]

Please state the brand names of produc5s used to fix and seal

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching. I state the type of product used but not the brands simply because if you not from the same country as me it will be irrelevant to you. Example: you can search for water based water proofing membrane at your local hardware and have different brands which will do the same job. Hope that helps.👍

[@jeffbguarino]

I don't understand why you use UV protectant under the paint? The paint will fade because it is on top.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching- If you are referring to the product at 3:16, it's a waterproofing membrane applied only to the inside of the bowl, so it doesn't leak .

[@jeffbguarino]

@@LittleRestorers Yes I see, I just noticed the bag and the words , "UV resistant". So I guess You don't really need UV resistant , it you paint it afterwards. You really need UV resistant paint.

[@LittleRestorers]

@@jeffbguarino if u painting the whole piece, u definitely want external paint.

[@Chrissiesmile]

I Don't believe it this is the exact same bird bath that I have, which is broken. I hope liquid nails is strong enough to hold the actual bath together

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching- Mine is holding together fine so far. The bath part was kicked to the ground by an animal and didn't crack where it was glued. Good luck fixing yours 👍

[@Chrissiesmile]

@@LittleRestorers that is good to know. Thanks for replying and posting that video. 🙂

[@mariscauyterlinde2928]

Are all those chemicals safe for birds...? 😮

[@LittleRestorers]

Yes. The water proofing is non-toxic.

[@davidhill1220]

Didn’t say what was used🤔

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Am not sure what you mean as all products used were showed. 1:08 - Landscape liquid nails 2:10 - No more cracks powder filler 3:15 - Weather seal 3:30 - Undercoat 4:10 - Acrylic paint Anything in particular you referring to ?

[@davidhill1220]

@@LittleRestorers yes that’s what I was wanting to know The materials you used Thanks very much👍 Patricia

[@socon3981]

I'm not sure all of those products are safe for birds.

[@LittleRestorers]

Only thing holding water is the bowl where only a safe waterbase waterproofing membrane was used.
