I broke one of the tines on my wife's wooden salad forks and need to glue it back on. Any hints or tips on a "food safe" glue?? The forks a very light oil finish of some sort.

A number of the common glues are considered food safe when cured.
ordinary pva is used to make most seed bells for birds.
most epoxies are considered inert once FULLY cured

Strength is probably a big consideration.

I don't know if the superglue related glues are ok when cured but they are certainly very dangerous in their uncured form can cause irreversable blindness from very small ammounts.

I gather you are in trouble.

best of luck chum.

Try flowers, chocklets ect.

The light oil finish might just about put pay to anything sticking to it long term. I really don't like your chances.

Buy her a new set, and next time DON'T TOUCH!

Thanks for the advice. I guess another set are in order. Perhaps it's a chance to try my hand at carving...
