I should have put this post together before, but I just couldn’t find the time. Here are some pics of how I’ve fixed the pretty badly broken bigfoot ramp. It took me a whole week to do it, since epoxy glue that I was using takes around 24 hours to dry properly.

Luckily, this ramp is almost completely hidden from view, so the artistic impression won’t count much, but I bet, this will hold the thing together properly.
