Hi Detlef, how are you? Perhaps you can use a spoon to bend the silver(?) ferrule back into its rounding?! What would you use as resin? (I always make resin by grinding a piece of BBQ charcoal fine, mix with woodglue. But this will turn very hard when dry; but perhaps not so suitable for ur 'job')
Good luck friend. Always a joy to turn an 'ugly duck' into an 'elegant swan'
Best, Wouter
