Hi -
So when turtle shell repair methods were first being developed, super glue and epoxy repair methods were the first techniques attempted. While this was an admirable idea to ensure the turtle was not vulnerable, unfortunately all it did was seal in infection without the ability to treat it.
Super glue/epoxy/fiber glass techniques are no longer recommended for turtle shell repairs. Instead, there have been several techniques that have been proven both effective and safe for the patient.
- place small areas of epoxy along the shell fracture (making sure it does NOT enter the wound bed) and place sewing hooks, zip ties, etc on the epoxy
- after the epoxy has set, use small gauge wire, make a simple figure-eight wire tie and gently twist to bring the two edges of the shell close together
Many local wildlife rehabilitators and exotic veterinarians are familiar with this method and are willing to help teach. Please consider contacting them prior to attempting a shell repair.
You shouldn't use Super Glue (or anything water soluble) . But, hot glue is okay if you're going to seal it after.

Nail Glue or Super Glue. If your fake nails came with nail glue use that, if not super glue because it is the same thing. Nail Glue=Super Glue (Just in a different package) -Lizzy (The Cat Lady)
