Sapato que solta tinta, vcs jogam fora?

É isso, tenho um da Arezzo pré-pandemia que é lindo demais, tem um design bem específico e incomum.

Fui arrumar o armário de sapatos hoje, tive mau pressentimento, andei com ele um pouco em casa. Sim, meu pé ficou preto de tinta. Foi fácil tirar com acetona, mas foi pouca tinta porque usei brevemente. Mas provavelmente teria 10x pior, aquele pé preto de mina de carvão, que inclusive fica impregnado nas cutículas, um nojo.

Não dá pra usar com aquela meiazinha transparente.

E aí, jogariam fora logo, ou usariam assim mesmo, pelo menos mais algumas vezes antes de se desfazer de vez?

Fix a small lapis lazuli statue

I visited Easter Island once and brought with me a collection of moai, those stone statues, from various artisans. Some in stone, some in wood, covering the range of the development of the moai through centuries, from the smaller and rustic ones, to the huge angular and standardized heads.

And I bought one made of lapis lazuli, which is not found in the island, but in Chile.

The problem is that it fell and the neck was partly vaporized, so it can't be fitted at all. I need a substance to glue it back. Now, what would that be?

Mind you, the imperfection will make it even more charming, as every standing moai in Easter Island today, all of them, no exceptions, have been lifted off the floor and restored at the neck. So the concrete used is entirely visible, and it does not detract the work of art, because it's the history of the piece: faith, civil war, complete destruction, restoration mainly by the Japanese, the mystery in all of those steps.

So, how can I restore it? What kind of professional could help me? What would be the ideal substance for lapiz lazuli specifically and... And any chance I could do it myself with the proper material, considering I'm talenleess?

Second pic it is the late-stage moai aesthetic. Sooo heavy. And so glad I have them.
