Can You Glue Pottery?

The type of ceramic glue you need to use is dependent on what you need to fix. For broken ceramic household items (such as mugs and plates) epoxy glue is your best bet as this super strong glue is heat and water-resistant and can also be used as a filler if you have any pieces missing.

What glue is best for ceramics?

If you have a project that requires gap bonding or filling, surface repairs or laminating, the best glue for porcelain or ceramic repairs will be an epoxy. An epoxy consists of two parts: resin and hardener. When mixed together, they produce a durable, high strength bond.

How do you stick broken pottery together?

Apply a thin layer of glue on both sides of the broken ceramic. Precisely press the pieces together in place, quickly adjusting the pieces if necessary. Hold the pieces together to allow the glue to grab. If necessary, secure the pieces to allow for cure time to be reached.
