Sorry I have pm'd you I just wasn't sure who to contact or start a post in regards to this

I was at Jerry's roof yesterday (12 th june) and the start bloc to bus stop is one heavy pull away from coming straight off. I don't know if it needs glueing or inspecting

Got the above as a PM

Its been going that way for some time ever since the other bits snapped off I guess they were keying it in a bit.  Have been told:

a) its mountain rock therefore i am not allowed to do anything
b) It will make the problems harder therefore i am not allowed to do anything
c) Do what you like

At a guess it would be better for it to be removed and glued on intentionally so you can jigsaw the surrounding bits back together better.  If it explodes I would imagine there will be lots lost.   What does people think I seem to remember nic at work(?) drilling and glueing a pin into something somewhere think that might work or else we could just let it go and hope it doesn't leave a sharp minging hold.

Bus stop and Mr F will be gone if it goes won't they. I'd pull it off and glue it back on, happy to come and help , done quite a bit of that .

 Pulling it off and gluing it back on seems reasonable to me.

It ll probably be fine with resin but if it's a substantial enough piece we could pin it.

I think you should take it off and glue it. Like Doyle says Mr Fantastic and Bus Stop will be lost in all probability if it breaks into a million pieces and that would be a shame.

I agree! Worth a try at least surely?
