Now, I know that I'm not the only one to do this (at least, I hope so)...but I recently broke one of my HL. I was hoping that someone out there could recommend the best way to repair my mistake. I'm not going to sell it or anything and I don't even need to get it back to "perfect", but I would really LOVE to fix it and make it right again.
If this matters, the piece is HL #524 - Baltimore. I broke one of the two small, plastic pieces (designed to be boat hoists) that hang over the side of the lighthouse. I was fortunate to have it break off at it's base near the platform and it actually left a small hole.
It appears to a pretty easy fix but I wanted some advice before I attempt it (I'd hate to make it worse). Any advice is much appreciated...

You can attempt to fix it yourself with superglue - or you can call HL 800-365-1219 for referral to a pro.

Superglue with the help of a toothpick should do the job, Jeff. If the davit was broken at the base you shouldn't have any problem making a clean mend with just a tiny drop at the tip of the toothpick. Let us know how it came out. Good Luck!

Jeff- Before stareting any repair you would want to contact of famous "King of Wackos" about how to properly clean it with your handy Kitchenaire!!!
Serioulsly I have had a couple that the tips got hit and super glue does an excellant job.
