  Next, use your wooden stir stick and dab a little amount of epoxy on both the broken piece and the denture itself.

  Carefully slide the two pieces and hold together for at least 30 seconds to create a bond.

  After that, use your stir stick to apply a small amount over the crack where it originally broke off.
