A FANTASTIC product recommendation from BRATPRINCE

As a P.R. agent and market expert, I don't usually rave about a product unless I am getting paid.  However, I just have to tell you about the most amazing discovery that I found by accident.  I was tired of super glue...read the back of this product and thought I would give it a try.

Astrid, the "internet kitty star" has been like a hurricaine in this house.  If he can figure out a way to break something he will.  We love him...he is part of the family, but he has turned into a willful and giant cat that loves to deposit himself in places that he should not be.  His "break rate" is amazing.

Yesterday after my work day I decided to fix everything he has taken down (except for the chip in my lovely Baccarat obelisk which needs to go to our local art restorer to be sanded enough that it isn't noticible.  It really isn't now since it is at the base, but I still want it sanded smooth).

So what is this miracle product?  GOOP!  Yes, GOOP!

I have spent years trying to repair things with Super Glue.  Super Glue is iffy.  It works sometimes...it doesn't others.  In addition, you really can only use it three or four times before the head of the nozzle becomes encrusted with glue and you can't actually use it again.

GOOP is entirely different.  It works on EVERYTHING with a little patience.  It is some sort of miracle sealant.  I don't even have an idea why it works so well, but I love it!!

Here is a list of the things Astrid (sometimes with the help of his best friend, our dog Paley) has tried to destroy:  an original Tiffany lamp that I bought Gary for an anniversary that sat on our breakfast table, an exact replica of my own bed sized down for our other dog Roman to sleep on...including Baroque gold bedding and a pillow that says, BRAT, the den coffee table...by play fighting underneath they dislodged a leg (it is all wood), a "souvenir building" of the Washington Monument that sits with the rest of my "village", a large and beautiful black obelisk made of wood and laquered black..he broke off the entire top half.  You get the idea.  In addition, Gary accidently knocked down an interesting concrete gargoyle that sits on our New Orleans style courtyard. 

It was GOOP time.  I was dealing with wood, metal and concrete.  Today was results day.

Our Tiffany lamp...which was broken in three pieces looks perfect.  Roman's bed is back together and stronger than ever.  Our coffee table leg is re-attached and probably put together better than when we bought it.  The gargoyle's head is back on and seems like it will not be going anywhere soon.  The tiny Washington monument is perfect again.

So...there is my recommendation.  If it is broken and you really want to fix it...buy GOOP.  Okay GOOP guys, send me a check.
