How to Seamlessly Repair Broken Stone Sculpture or Statue Requiring Metal Reinforcement
This tutorial / illustration was put together as an example showing how Lakeside Pottery Studio (lakesidepottery.com/) generally repair and restore indoors stone / marble sculptures that require metal reinforcement.
In this example, the marble sculpture broke by the very narrow ankles with about 60 lbs of load-bearing. Cementing-only would not be sufficient and insertion of metal rods was required to ensure proper mechanical integrity and longevity. Drilling accurately on both sides of the broken pieces for proper alignment is tricky and this video illustrates one of the methods we use.
Note: this restoration method is intended for indoors used only.

Very helpful tips! I especially found the tips on drilling out one side a little larger to allow wiggle room for adjusting the alignment of the two pieces, the tip about how much bonding agent to fill in the drilled holes, and also the tip about allowing enough time to get the two parts aligned perfectly before the epoxy starts to set. Thank you!
Amazing work ❤❤❤❤❤
A good cement should use the powder from the material

Not a good idea to use the powder in areas where sheer strength is required. Mixing any adhesive with powder can significantly reduce the bond needed for proper mechanical integrity.
