What kind of glue do you use on statues?

I had a piece break off evenly on my sideshow mixed media Scorpion statue. It's just one of the details on his armor. It's a clean break but what kind of glue is best to use ??

Thanks

I recently used Zap-a-Gap to repair a statue and it worked great (thanks to Oddball for the advice). I understand this is the glue Randy recommends for statue repairs. You can get it at a craft store like Michaels for $3-4.

What do you use to apply it to a very small break?

if it broke once, it is gonna break again. My advice is Zap CA and pin it if possible. that way the joint will be a bit stronger and wont be prone to break again.
