This project requires very few materials - but lots of patience

Materials list:

Plaster of Paris - or Clay

Epoxy

Fiberglass cloth

In this step, all you need to do is get a box (larger than the shape you are repairing) and make sure that it is sealed with packing tape. Mix the Plaster of Paris and pour into the box. Insert the shape that you want to repair and let sit overnight.

Carefully Remove the Good Part From the Cast
