Fixing/patching a crack clay pot? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Psivage · 04-03-2005, 03:53 PM

My dad, recevied a gift many years ago from a friend who is now decease, a clay pot, to plant strawberries in. Through out the years, it has worn down, and now it cracked in half. Is there any way to fix/patch it up? If need be I will post a picture of the pot, if that would help. Thanks in advance.

I've repaired ceramic items like coffee mugs with Duco cement. Long open time-easy to use, and works well with porous materials.

Any glue with the word epoxy in it and that is for porous materials. Also, glue from the inside because most outer pots have glazing on them which is hard to bond to.
