Lesson Covering Old Glue Removal, Cementing, Filling, Painting and Glazing Broken Ceramic, Pottery or China Vessels

Many of our restoration "How-to" tutorials and lessons cover one or two aspects of the repair process. After receiving many requests to see a repair example process from beginning to end (removal of old repair, mending, filling, sanding, painting and glazing), we have generated this video covering the full spectrum using commercially available materials for the DIY audience. This process can be used with plates, platters, vases, figurines, bowls, pitchers, urns and other items made with glazed ceramic.

What is needed to fix and repair broken pottery and ceramic?
To match placement of broken pieces so that gravity alone can keep proper alignment, fill a container, that is slightly larger than the piece you want to prepare with plastic pebbles, rice, or sand. This will cradle and hold the repaired piece still and in place while it cures. We use ABS Plastic Pellets made for injection Molding.
