Apparently you should coat the underside of the whole shell with polyurethane (forgive if the spelling is not correct) boat resin-this will appaernetly stabilise the shell esp. if brittle and killbacteria, then with a cloth polish the topside lightly with jewellers rouge , then coat the top with a fibreglass resin like the first available from a boat shop -you would be best to discuss it with them in case their are better options re-the resin. I myself am starting this today with three shells, good luck.

Unfortunately, it is a myth that turtles and tortoises can leave or change their shells. The shell is actually a hard, protective covering over the turtle or tortoise's ribs. So if you find an empty tortoise shell that means that that tortoise has died and decomposed.
