Ceramics: Patching

I've tried all the commercial patch materials for poured ceramics and still keep going back to the old handy recipe. Take a little slip in a cup, add about the same amount of vinegar and watch it boil up. After it seems to have stopped foaming, add some clear glaze and mix together.

It's a great patch. Dampen the edges of a break, with vinegar and let it boil for a second then you can add your patch material and press together.

At this point, your mend is VERY fragile. If you can manage to get it to the kiln without it falling apart again, you have about a 90% chance of it holding.
