can this ruler be saved>

I have used crazy glue and glued them back together. I then take a nail file and some the excess glue off the edges so it doesnt hang on the fabric. I did glue it on a piece of marble so that it was nice and flat and smooth, still use those rulers quite often for it is one of my favourites.

I broke one end off a very expensive ruler. It has a sliding part so you can set it and then just butt up against the edge of the fabric. works great, I will have to try the gorilla glue. It still works, but now is shorter and the pin holding the slider is just barely on there. smile...Really love that ruler.....

Try a hardware store or glass shop. I dropped one on the garage floor and it took a chunk out of the corner. Went to the hardware store & he used a cutter or something and made it a straight, angled cut.

WARNING: OFF TOPIC.
I broke a pretty hand turned bowl that was put together in slices. My dh used gorilla super glue to glue one slice onto the other slice. Trouble was he thought if a little was good, a lot would be great. Did you know that super gorilla glue grows. We had glue coming out on all sides of the bowl. What was a pretty decorative bowl looked like a big glob. LOL.

I broke one of my rulers about five years ago, used the packaging tape (clear - 2-1/2" wide) on both sides - and I'm still using it.
