Can anyone assist on how I should make this repair? 2ton epoxy? Elmer's? IMG_20190331_173259609.jpeg

That is awesome!!! Do you want black glue or clear? I have so black glue that works on anything.

I love that jug
Thanks Truth! I didn't even think about the color. Maybe I can put some black die in the 2 ton epoxy. I'm guessing it held some strong whiskey :). It will make some good mancave decor

I use gorilla glue two part epoxy on fixes like this....it is permanent and great for uncomplicated restorations like yours.

I use this and it is fantastic. I believe it comes in white or clear as well IMG_0012.jpg

Go to Michaels or look at their web site for china repair. Forgot to ask the lady what the name was but she offered to repair a ceramic vase for me with this stuff. Asked her how she got the cracks to blend so well (you couldn't see them without magnification) She told me it was a special technique. When I pressed her she said, "I just finessed them with a little spit." Also, she took some scrapings off the bottom, ground them to powder and mixed with the glue to fill a spot that the piece got lost.

I've used this Remodeling Your Kitchen Should You Get A Dishwasher Mesmerizing Tips - ramcet.com# for chips on cups etc. Believe it or not you can color match it with sharpie pens. I'll ask her the name of the stuff next time I see her. You should be able to find it at Michaels.

Thanks Boogey! There is a Michael's right around the corner from my house. I'll check em out. That would be nice to not see the repair crack
