repairing jade rooster

I have a fine jade rooster whose legs are now broken. The repair needs to be strong as well as invisible. The rooster stands rather delicately on its two legs so all the weight will be on the repairs. I have tried to use a conventional epoxy glue but it yellowed quickly so I also need to remove the adhesive already used. What is best to clean the glue off the jade? I have seen discussions of both Fynebond and Hxtal. Which would be better and is there a supplier here in Canada. Alternatively, is there a restorer in the Vancouver B.C. area that anyone is familiar with?
