Mending a broken concrete birdbath

[brianroberts]

Help - I have concrete birdbath bowl that split into two. I don't know if I can stick the two pieces together again. Using mortar would make the gap too big plus I don't think it would be strong enough to hold the pieces together; they are heavy. Perhaps there is some sort of resin or acrylic bonding material that might do the trick - does anyone have any specific recommendations please? Many thanks for any suggestions.
Here's a picture of the aforementioned birdbath.

Araldite epoxy resin will stick this for you, providing the edges aren't too crumbly......make sure the concrete is completely dry before gluing, and keep it warm when the glue is setting.
If you can support the bath on the pillar afterwards, so much the better - don't let it rock.
