When an object has become separated from the bung or stopper and moves around freely inside the Globe you have no choice but to open it up and glue it back in place. This is not as easy as it looks and is best left to the profeshional . We at James Purcell's Snow Globe repair will solve that problem for you.

With your best interest in mind ! Jim.

At James Purcell's repair shop we are not happy telling you that your Globe has to come apart for the repair of a broken figure inside the Globe or one that has just come free of the bung ( stopper ) . But their is no other way to rejoin it to the bung with glue . To do this repair almost all of the parts have to come off and the glue has to be cleaned so that it can be put back together again . Some people take the screws on the bottom out in the thought that they secqure the bottom cover
but they only hold the music box in side to the base . " DO NOT
REMOVE THESE SCREWS " . Snow Globes were not ment to come apart for repairs but when broken manufactures expect you to throw them away . They did not plan on people attaching memories to them and are heart broken at the loss of them . We have found ways to get around the ways that
these things are made . Gaining access to the workings by tapping the cover ( which is contiac cemented on ) and when you hear a hollow sound that is the place to start prying up with a sharp jack knife , slowly at first , and as it lets you slide
the knife along the outside of the circle . " Keep in mind that some of these have music boxes attached which do not like the
workings jacknifed ! " once the cover is removed you just have the inside . Now it is no simple mater to go further as you will see but you can gain entry to do the repair now . Now for those that have no cover but are solid you have to heat to
130 degrees to seporate . For these ones the Globe and the
base can now be pulled apart using gloves being carefull not to burn yourself . " pull gently and clean off excess glue so putting
back together is easier . If all this is too much for you to do ?
Send it to Jim and we will make sure it is like new again .
