Thank you - with this crazy world, as we age, sharing is the only power we have to illustrate harmony and caring! Good luck with your project

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt Thank you! We need more people like you in our society! God bless 🙏

Involve your mom somehow in the repair process. Similar to burying one's own beloved pets, there is acceptance and closure.

does it become stick together ? 🥺 i just broke my mug

Thank you for your kind note Barbara

Thank you Victoria!! We have instructed ceramic art for many years - see link below. The need to teach remained, thus the many tutorials on our website ( see second link). Knee kindly, Morty and Patty. lakesidepottery.com/Pages/aboutus.html lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Tips.html .

Thank you Elena!

So glad it worked out!

Good luck fixing it! I'm sure with this great tutorial you will do fine and your mom will be so happy

Giamarie Saponaro thank god it worked

@@dagoosetm3299 I'm so glad to hear that! I'm happy for you! Next time be careful k! Lol 😆 I'm a mother of 4 and I have 9 grandbabies under 4 year's old. We (Mom's/Mimi's) understand that accidents happen. That was very sweet of you to even want to learn how to fix it and make it right for your Mom. Good job 👏

@@dagoosetm3299 I do hope you told your Mom.

Linda Sarafin I did

Hope the repair worked out!

Hi Frank, yes, mechanically, it will work the same. You will have some chalenges if you decide to paint / glaze the repaired areas

Yes, the epoxy will yellow with time. The shown subsequent layers in the video are required for a non-yellowing and seamless repair (filler, paint, glaze). See more about painting and glazing in the link below. www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/painting-coloring-repaired-ceramic-sculpture-tutorial.htm

Hi Peter - see link below to our page "Where to get supplies" - look at the very bottom. Good luck with your project!

For an 18th century piece, you may be better off hiring a professional.

Same materials and process as recommended in our lessons for ceramic repair. You have to be more careful with sending. See link to several lessons: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Repairing-restoring-ceramic-porcelain-china-pottery-lessons-tutorials.html

Hi, yes, do one piece at a time and wait for curing. The order of which piece is a bit tricky. You may want to dry-run the order using scotch tape first.

Hi Scott, see q&A #11 in the link below: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/ceramic-repair-and-restoration-questions-and-answers.htm

You do not have to use wax warmer but make sure room temperature is 70 degree F or more

Lmao same case but my sister did it but all of us will get in trouble soo...

My granddaughters broke a plate

I am here bcoz I broke my aunts vase :(

My mom broke the flower base by mistake

Yes, see link for more details: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Repairing-restoring-ceramic-porcelain-china-pottery-lessons-tutorials.html

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt Thank you! Quick question - do you know if the epoxy step shown in the beginning of the video will ensure the item is made waterproof again? My cat's ceramic drinking water fountain bowl cracked perfectly into 2 pieces. Will the epoxy product that you suggested alone ensure that it's made waterproof (assuming it's correctly applied to fill every void)? Thank you again sir!

@@tomwall2361 It might be water proof for a period of time but your main concern should be food safety. We do not handle functional items.

You could use just PC-11 and more of it. If it does not shape well given it's softness, you can apply more of it in two or more rounds. Because you are working with functional repair (need to be water proof), I will not use "semi cure" PC-11 or other epoxies - it will compromise the bonding and sealing properties. Good luck with your project!

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt Thank you! Never again shall I employ a bathtub refinisher (or any other contractor for that matter) without extreme research and ample internet presence. I've learned the hard way that half of all contractors are crooks :C

See Q&A #11 in the next link: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/ceramic-repair-and-restoration-questions-and-answers.htm

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt thank you so much!!

Very weak bond

The non-fired clay will work. It will be better to fill the voide with a filler. If it is a big void, you let the first layer cure and continue to add filler.

Depending on the surface area of the broken cross section and to what temperature it will be subjected to. We always place a metal pin or a peg in a load bearing repair such as a handle.

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt , that might be beyond my current experience level. May have to turn it into a planter or something instead.

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt , also, thanks for the prompt reply!

Forgot to mention that after microwaving (always with a wooden stick, to avoid superheated/exploding water), the mug would sometimes have black residue (looked like pencil shavings) on the outside. From some online searching, it sounds like this apparently indicates the glaze was cracked & I should not use it for food anymore anyway, so planter it is!

See link to submit estimate request. We are in Delaware. www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/ceramic-repair-and-restoration-request-form.html

Ceramic restoration materials are not food-safe, liquid or heat-proof (over 190 degrees F) and repaired items should not be used on cooking or food serving-ware

Yes, in Delaware www.lakesidepottery.com

No

Hot glue doesn' t hold. But Sekunde Glue works well, too.

Epoxy is just plastic. Maybe try soaking in acetone to dissolve it out.

Thank you for your thoughts. Note however, ff you use the materials we recommend, your assumptions are not accurate. We have restored thousands of objects as shown. See link for more specifics. lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Repairing-restoring-ceramic-porcelain-china-pottery-lessons-tutorials.html

And a link to some before and after examples. lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pictures/pottery%20and%20ceramic%20restoration%20before%20and%20after.html

Boiling water is too hot but warm water (120-140 degree F) will work as long as the water does not mix with the epoxy

@@LakesidePotteryCeramicArt Thank you! I already have the jar pieced back together; now I just need to do the actual epoxy/filler. Do you have some kind of social media? I'd love to send you pictures when it's done!

@@caffienatedtactician Would love to see it facebook.com/lakesidepotterystudio or www.lakesidepottery.com

Hi Nina, see link below bottom right of page: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/where-to-purchase-ceramic-restoration-supplies.html

Thank you you guys are so helpful! You also fix my Korean vase I don’t know if you’re not in the same person that sent it to you recently. It looks great!

@@ninacorcorannewcomb4590 Hi Nina, yes it is us (Beautiful celadon bud vase)

Good questions and too simply resolved - see the following link for more clarity. lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/Replacing-stoneware-crock-broken-rim-seamlessly.html

Lol - yes and sorry! I need to redo this video and get another set of hands to help out. It meant to be seen only by a local school not knowing that over 250,000 people will be watching it.

Hello! The 1st filler is for "bulk filling" it is not sandable to our performance requirements and fails the UV light surface continuity test. It is not needed for typical cracks - you go right to PC11 unless you have a missing piece 1/3" or larger. Using only PC-super epoxy might be sufficient for what you wish to accomplish but terribly fails our expectations. Neither material is suitable for use with food or functionally. Knife will mark any restoration materials (epoxy, fillers, glaze). There aren't any materials out there that will match fired glaze. Also, none of the restoration materials with good performance (bonding strength, sandability, and compatible with subsequent restoration layers such as paint and cold glaze) we know are food safe. Regarding the Dap silicon adhesive, it will not create the right surface for seamless repair that meets our performance expectations. If you smear it around, it would look just like that, smeared around. The Kintsugi process use is proprietary and we use 5-6 stages, gluing, filling, sanding, gold or gold affect bonding material, gold or gold effect metal powder application and burnishing (burnishing is required with real gold only). The usage issues discussed above apply to Kintsugi as well. See more in the link below in reference to why restored items should not be used functionally or with food - refer to Q and A #11. Sorry, we do not use Dap silicone or such so we do not know how and where to source it. All we know about the Dap silicon is that we get a lot of projects post DIY repair attempts and at times, the silicon adhesive removal is more costly that the whole restoration it self. Note that all the above and much more is discussed in our tutorials - see index to all the restoration tutorials below. lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Repairing-restoring-ceramic-porcelain-china-pottery-lessons-tutorials.html Questions and answers: lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/ceramic-repair-and-restoration-questions-and-answers.htm Thank you for asking these good questions.

Thank you for your kind note. Do not know of a Lakeside Pottery Band - who are they? They have used our copy right protected name of 29 years : ) Hope they are good

So I just had a knee operation today sitting here with ice pack over the operated area and reading your kind note with good humor - thank you. The reason why we do not monetize our posting is ensure the audience have the best experience with less advertisement. Our pottery and restoration work is sufficient for our income. Here is out latest very short video ukposts.info/have/v-deo/joCUgXuQqaeowmiM.htmlhat do you think? Morty and Patty

חג שמח גם לך!
