Roberta12 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 A little sprig fell off just now while I was glazing. Can I super glue it back on so it will hold long enough for me to put glaze over it?? Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Might depend on where the sprig is located; on a vertical surface/plane, the glue may burn off before the glaze starts to melt. On a horizontal surface/plane, it may stay in place. There are bisque menders available, but that would require that you rebisque the ware to make sure you get a bond that holds.

Marcia Selsor Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Use a paper clay patch to stick it back on but you need to bisque it again before glazing again and high. marciaselsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta12 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks Bruce and Marcia. I was hoping there was some magic trick that I didn't know about that could happen at that moment. He has a slightly bigger brother, so I wanted them in the same load. Oh well....

ChenowethArts Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks Bruce and Marcia. I was hoping there was some magic trick that I didn't know about that could happen at that moment. He has a slightly bigger brother, so I wanted them in the same load. Oh well.... Without seeing the piece it is a little more difficult to make a recommendation. Have you considered glazing and firing the sprig and main body separately, then using epoxy to attach the wayward sprig once things have cooled off? That is not a perfect solution, but as you noticed from the earlier comments, there simply isn't a magic wand for this sort of thing (although many of us wish that could happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta12 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Paul, I seriously considered that last night, and I took a picture with my phone but the pic was too large and it was too late for me to want to resize and all that jazz. But it's on the other side of the spout of a small batter bowl. I would hope it would get a lot of kitchen use so using e6000 probably wouldn't be the best solution. So I will do the paper clay and re bisque thing. But thanks so much. Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bisque fix will stick it on thru the whole process-its from amaco. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta12 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks Mark. I will see about getting some. It's not a common problem for me but a person needs something when it happens. I had a small container of paperclay so I used that and the little bowl is being rebisqued right now. I will let you all know if it worked. Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta12 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It Worked!! Ta Da!! I had a smidge of paper clay, so I used that, rebisqued and glazed. It came through with flying colors. Or rather it stuck to its guns! I really was pleased. Thanks to everyone for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
