VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Glue is natural and synthetic. Organic adhesive solution for ceramics can be prepared independently.
For this you need:
- Dissolve 100 grams of slaked lime and 100 grams of sugar in one liter of water.
- As the water boils, boil the solution for three hours.
- After defending the lime-sugar mixture, and drain the water.
- Add 0.5 kg of crushed tile adhesive, such as Knauf.
- Within 12 hours, do not touch the resulting mixture.
- Apply the resulting adhesive solution in a cold state.
Can also be used synthetic glue, it is sold in special hardware stores.
The most suitable options are:
- Mekol,
- Elastostil-2,
- Mars,
- Rapid,
- MC-1,
They perfectly glue ceramics and faience, have high technical performance.
If it really happened and you broke a ceramic vase, there was a chip on the handle of a kitchen cup, an expensive thing cracked, you need to figure it out, How to glue ceramic to ceramic.
To do this, you can purchase narrow-profile ceramic glue.
Ceramic is much more difficult to glue than porcelain.
Therefore, you should follow the basic rules:
- We clean the glued surfaces from dirt and dust.
- We degrease the component parts of the object, and then dry them well.
- Apply a thin layer of ceramic adhesive to the desired area.
- If the parts to be bonded are uneven, apply a second layer of adhesive.
- Connect the glued parts by pressing them down with force.
- Fix the product in a clamped state for such a period of time as indicated in the glue instructions.
- It will be possible to use the item again after a couple of days, when the glue finally sets.
A tourniquet can be used to fix the product to be glued, and if the object small size stick it in a container of sand. This will contribute to reliable bonding and tight connection of all parts into a single whole.
How to glue porcelain
To repair a porcelain product, you will need:
- epoxy adhesive such as EDP,
- container for dilution of glue,
- stick for applying the composition.
Operating procedure:
1. We mix the resin and hardener in a ratio of 1:10 and heat it with a household hair dryer.
2. We apply the composition to the place where we will glue the fragments. We leave for a few minutes.
3. We connect the fragments of the broken product.
For complete drying, it is necessary to withstand 24 hours.
For gluing ceramics and earthenware, you must follow the same rules. First, prepare the connecting parts by cleaning them of various kinds of contaminants, degrease with a solvent and dry.
If you need to glue small pieces, choose a glue based on cyanoacrylate. It is packaged in small tubes and is suitable for single use only.
If you have to glue large parts, you can weld the glue with your own hands.
- Use six parts liquid glue,
- Two parts of river sifted sand and,
- One piece of crushed glass. Such a composition will give the adhesive strength and quality, however, after gluing, the seam will remain noticeable.

A simple option for self-preparation is casein-based glue. To prepare it, you will need water, borax, casein, a few drops of formalin. This mixture will harden in 2-3 hours. And yet, many resort to gluing ceramics and faience with a gypsum-based adhesive solution.
Do not rush to throw out the damaged item, whether it is a porcelain vase, a ceramic cup, faience sink. Try on your own to breathe a second life into your favorite piece of furniture.
Things made of ceramics, faience and porcelain are in every family. Often these are beautiful, antique products, works good craftsmen. They decorate the interior with their originality, delight the eye and warm the soul. Sometimes these are expensive, memorabilia, inherited. But ceramics and porcelain are quite fragile. Crockery, vase or figurine may break. Sometimes the damage is so serious that the damaged item has to be thrown away with great regret. If there is even the slightest hope of restoring, prolonging the life of the product, then, of course, it is worth using it. But how to glue ceramics?
Synthetic adhesives
Glue for porcelain and ceramics can be either natural (which you can prepare yourself) or synthetic.
We will dwell on how to prepare an organic adhesive solution on our own below, but for now we will consider synthetic adhesives, which the construction chemistry market offers in abundance.
To choose good glue for ceramics, you need to be careful, do not hesitate to consult with
sellers, as the choice is really great. But each glue has both its advantages and disadvantages. Some do not give strong seams, others have dye added, and some are not moisture resistant enough. For gluing ceramic products, "Mars", "BF-2", "Rapid", "MC-1", "Mekol", "Supercement", "Ago", "Elastosil-2", "EDP", "Pateks" are recommended and others. They perfectly glue ceramics, having high technical indicators. Mars is deservedly considered the best in terms of water resistance.
Also optimal for our purposes can be called a universal super-glue based on cyanoacryalate.
It is sold in any specialty store. This glue is convenient to use, as it is packaged in small tubes for single use. Many people like to use PVA glue for dishes, as its composition is one of the most environmentally friendly. But after gluing with this glue, it is advisable to go through the thing with a layer of varnish, sometimes several.
How to glue porcelain? For porcelain, as well as for ceramics, universal epoxy and casein adhesives are also suitable.
Organic adhesive solutions
There are many organic solutions that you can make yourself at home. They were used by the old masters. The recipes have stood the test of time and have been passed down to us by inheritance.
Here are some simple ingredients:
- glue for porcelain restoration. Add 1 egg white to gypsum powder and mix thoroughly. The resulting substance must be glued very quickly, as it instantly hardens;
- beat 1 egg white into foam, let stand for a day. Then add to it baking soda so that the consistency of the mass corresponds to the usual test. It is good to glue small porcelain figurines with such glue;
- water, borax, casein are mixed in equal proportions, 2-3 drops of formalin are added. The composition will harden after 2-3 hours, and it can be used.
More complex but effective composition- the so-called "food glue":
- in 1 liter of water add 100 grams of sugar, 100 grams of slaked lime. Mix;
- cook the mixture over low heat for about 3.5 hours, in no case boil;
- cool, stand for 2-3 hours, drain the water;
- add half a kilogram of any crushed tile adhesive to the mixture. Stir, defend 12 hours;
- work with the resulting solution in a cold state.
Porcelain glue is also suitable for ceramics.
How to glue porcelain?
Porcelain is somewhat easier to glue than ceramics, so we will move from simple to complex. So, how to glue porcelain?
This can be done using the home-made adhesives described above, or use one of the synthetic compounds: Rapid, Ago, Mekol, Elastosil-2, etc.
The algorithm of actions will be something like this:
- rinse and dry the surfaces to be bonded, then degrease them;
- apply a thin layer of glue to the gluing points, attach the parts to each other and immediately press firmly;
- you can wrap it with a tourniquet for strength and do not touch it for several days.
And how to glue a porcelain figurine, from which small fragments have broken off?
Here is an option for repairing a figurine using epoxy glue:- combine the resin with the hardener in a ratio of 1:10, mix and heat;
- gently, with a thin stick, apply the composition to the place where you need to glue the fragments and leave for a few minutes;
- attach fragments of the broken product, press lightly;
Everything is completely dry in a day.
This is how you can glue porcelain cup or other product.
In this case, we will use super glue:
- wash, dry, degrease surfaces;
- spread with glue, dry for 20 minutes. Then cover with a second layer and press the surfaces to be glued together;
- then put the glued product in any container, large in size, pour warm water and boil over low heat for 2-2.5 hours;
- cool the product in water and only then remove it;
- similarly, you can heat it in the oven or just hold it over the stove. But this should be done very carefully so as not to overheat the product.
Similarly, you can repair porcelain vases or figurines, the main thing is that the glue must be waterproof. After the item being restored has dried, you can additionally cover it with one or more layers of varnish to give it greater strength.
How to glue ceramics?
Ceramic products are much heavier and bulkier than porcelain, so their bonding is somewhat more laborious. So how to glue ceramics so that it is durable and reliable?The bonding rules are:
- we collect all the broken parts of the product, wash in warm water (you can use detergent for dishes), rinse and dry;
- we collect the details according to the scheme in order to see how we will glue;
- degrease the glued places with acetone or other composition;
- apply glue with a thin layer (with a stick or a thin brush);
- let the first layer dry, then apply the second;
- press the parts and hold for several minutes. Then cotton swab carefully remove the remnants;
- after some time, so that the first part sticks well, we glue the next one, etc .;
- then the glued product must be well fixed with a tourniquet, clamp or other device for the period specified in the glue instructions. It is good to stick a small object into a container with sand, this contributes to a reliable connection of all parts to each other. Usually, it takes 2-3 days for the final setting of the seam.
Fragments of ceramic products are quite sharp, so it is better to wear rubber gloves protecting your hands from possible cuts.
To work with small details it is convenient to use tweezers.Now we have learned a lot about how to properly glue ceramic and porcelain products. Which glues are better to choose, and how to prepare them yourself. And, if misfortune happens to our favorite cup, vase or figurine, we will try to apply the knowledge gained in practice in order to extend the life of the product.
A minute of inattention is enough for a heap of rubble to form from a beautiful faience vase, for the handle of a porcelain cup to break off, a crystal flowerpot to crack, a glass to crack. Just a moment...
And what then?
First of all, you need to collect everything, even the smallest pieces and do not throw it away! Let it be an ordinary penny glass - nothing, it's worth collecting everything. Then you can only throw it away if it is a worthless item.
Thanks to this, we will acquire something more valuable: an experience.
If someone thinks that only guided by the laconic instructions on the package, without any experience, they are able to glue some important object for themselves, then they are simply mistaken. It's easy to glue. It is difficult without experience to choose the appropriate glue, which can be glued together so that the object becomes usable again. Guided in the selection of glue by only one instruction, we can be misled.
Manufacturers tout their miracle liquids- you might think that they glue literally everything and are not amenable to any environmental influences.
Later it turns out that all these "brilliant" inventions have rather limited advantages: waterproof glue is really waterproof, but if you pour it into the glued dishes hot water- it turns out that it is not resistant to elevated temperatures, and its elasticity is the same as that of well-chewed chewing gum; another miracle, which is able to glue everything - from wood, leather and celluloid to glass, porcelain and concrete - really glues everything, but without sufficient strength; the next glue sticks together and even not bad, but the joints are clearly visible.
Therefore, it is worth gaining experience: glue, in order, first of all, to learn how to skillfully fold objects; then check their strength and suitability for use; so it's worth experimenting. Surely it will come in handy at some point.
It is easiest to glue glass and high-quality porcelain products with a smooth surface of the broken part, especially if there is Cyanopan B4 cyanoacrylic glue. A broken cup handle or a broken stem of a glass can be glued within a few minutes.
The surfaces to be bonded must be clean and dry. They should be degreased with a nitro solvent. Do not use nail polish remover as it contains fatty substances!
After that, the surfaces do not need to be wiped, because dust particles from cloth, cotton wool or paper may remain on them. When gluing, use the minimum amount of glue!
One drop of Cyanopan B4 is sufficient for bonding a surface of 3 - 5 cm 2! If, for example, we need to glue a broken leg to a glass, and such a gluing place is usually not even half a square centimeter, we can drop glue on a piece of clean glass, then take a little glue from this drop using a thin stick and apply it on the middle of the surface to be glued, after which both parts are pressed against each other, hold for a few seconds and ... done. The next day, you can safely use this item.

HOW TO GLUE A BROKEN CUP
So, your favorite cup is broken. The handle broke off. Accidentally slipped out of slippery hands while washing. What to do, throw away? "And if he is somehow dear to you? There is a way out, we will try to glue it. We go to the store and buy the appropriate glue. We are offered many brands of glue, one better than the other. What, let's try to get the well-known glue "Moment" for a start. We carefully read the instructions, do everything in strict accordance and wait for the result. As a result, the result, most likely, will be deplorable - the handle lasted for some time and fell off again. The situation is no better with other species. Let's say you bought waterproof glue. It is actually water resistant, but it turns out that it does not withstand hot water. Or, say, they found glue that really glues everything, but, unfortunately, glued seams are very noticeable. For dishes, this is also unacceptable. So an instruction is an instruction, and practical experience essential in such cases.
Let's get to our cup, or rather to mine. In general, glass and porcelain stick together very well. If the handle breaks off, it is very easy to attach it in place, if there is such glue - sekundenkleber. The surfaces to be glued, as indicated in the instructions, must be dry, free of grease and dirt. For degreasing, it is better to use some kind of nitro solvent or white spirit. Some take nail polish from their wife, I do not advise you to do this, since it just contains fatty compounds. After applying the thinner, wait for it to dry naturally, but do not wipe with paper, cotton, etc. Particles of the same materials may remain, and cleanliness will no longer be ensured.
One of the main rules - use as little glue as possible! Just one drop of this adhesive is enough to bond surfaces of 3-5 sq.cm. The surface of the broken handle from the cup will not be even half of this figure. True, here it must be taken into account that there will be at least two of these surfaces - two cleavage points. The gluing method is as follows: drop a drop of glue on some hard surface, for example, a fragment of a mirror, sharpen a match and take a little glue on the tip of this match, then apply it to one of the surfaces to be glued and press both parts with force for a few seconds. Everything, the cup is ready for use, but still, to be sure, you have to wait about a day.
I can also advise such glue as Epidian 5. This epoxy resin. They are also good for bonding glass, crystal, porcelain and much more. This glue is also much cheaper! There is only one difficulty when using such glue - it must be kept pressed for several hours, because it is too viscous and always strives to slip off the glued surface. This can be achieved by the usual bandaging with electrical tape, tape or a rubber band. You can use the load if the object has a conducive shape. It should be kept for a day, the glue dries for a long time. But it's safe!

How to glue pottery
How to glue broken pottery? Take quicklime, finely grind it and mix with cottage cheese to get a thick and viscous mass. Lubricated with this mass of the edge broken dishes, fold them, let stand for a few, so that the mass is completely dry.
Cement for porcelain and faience
For this purpose, we recommend the following composition. Take 125 g fresh, good quality cottage cheese and washed with water, squeezing strongly until the flowing water becomes light. Then the cottage cheese, washed in this way and well squeezed, is placed in a porcelain mortar, whites from 3 eggs and juice squeezed from 7-8 heads of garlic are added there. All this is well ground in a mortar, after which finely crushed burnt lime is added little by little until the whole mixture turns into a steep solid mass. In this form, the resulting composition is ready for use and stored in a well-corked jar with a wide mouth. To glue some broken porcelain or faience object with it, a small amount of it is slightly moistened with water, evenly covers the fracture surfaces with it and, quickly fastening the broken parts, allow the composition to dry completely in the dark. According to testimonies, objects made of porcelain or earthenware glued with this composition withstand fire and boiling water well.
How to glue porcelain?
Extended answer:
To glue broken porcelain, you can use the following composition of homemade glue: 1 part crushed glass, 2 parts sifted river sand and 6 parts silicate glue (liquid glass). This adhesive is very strong, but the bonding point is very noticeable. To avoid visibility, you can use a different composition of glue: 1 part of quicklime, 10 parts of chalk and 2.5 parts of liquid glass. This glue must be prepared in advance, because after mixing it hardens very quickly. A pre-prepared glue consisting of 1 part of turpentine and 2 parts of shellac (by weight) may come in handy. It is necessary to melt over low heat, for example, 50 g of turpentine and 100 g of light shellac, cool the resulting mixture and divide into small pieces. The glue in a frozen form can be stored for a long time, and to use it, you just need to warm up a piece, apply a thin layer of glue on the surfaces to be glued and squeeze it firmly. Remove any excess that comes out at the seam immediately. Glue on plaster allows you to glue broken porcelain products well. To prepare it, you need to put the burnt sculptural or medical gypsum into a saturated solution of ordinary alum and keep it for 24 hours. Then dry it, ignite it again and grind it. For gluing, dilute the powder with water to the consistency of thick sour cream.
How to glue broken ceramics?
Extended answer:
Glue for ceramics is usually made in one of the following ways: 1) casein is dissolved in liquid glass or silicate glue; 2) knead gypsum on egg white; 3) gypsum is soaked for a day in a saturated solution of aluminum alum, dried, washed out and kneaded in water; 4) dry chalk is ground to a very fine state, almost tooth powder, then dissolved in liquid glass in a ratio by weight of 1:4. The third option seems to be the best for bonding ceramics. Usually the glue hardens in 2-3 hours. When preparing glue, you need to remember that all formulations must have the consistency of sour cream. Ceramic and faience objects after gluing should preferably be heated in the oven to a temperature not exceeding 100°C.
How can you glue porcelain dishes?
The first thing I would like to point out not it is worth gluing porcelain products with cyanide-based chemical adhesives. It's poison! And if you glue a cup or saucer with such glue, then in no case will you be able to use this product! Cyanide will actively destroy your body. It is better to throw away the porcelain product than to glue it with glue like "Moment", "Elephant" ...
H can it be glued? Glue can be prepared by yourself and we need alabaster (gypsum) and an egg, or rather, only the protein from the egg. So, pour the protein into the dishes, add a little gypsum so much that we get a thick mixture. Attention: the mixture (glue) will harden very quickly, so it is not prepared in advance. We stir the alabaster in the protein, apply this mass to the chipped places and connect the halves of the broken dishes tightly.
Let the homemade glue dry and glue the broken parts. That is, touching the dishes and trying for strength is not worth it for two - three hours. We wipe the glued dishes, wash them and put them on the shelf. Cracks will not be visible.
How to glue porcelain
Every housewife has broken a porcelain cup or plate at least once. Of course, broken dishes are best thrown away and not used again. However, items that are very dear to you, of particular value, you can try to glue.
To glue porcelain, prepare gypsum-based cement. Add egg white to the gypsum powder, mix thoroughly, apply to the chip and quickly connect the broken parts (such cement hardens very quickly).
Well glues porcelain composition of egg whites and drinking soda. Whip the egg whites into a thick foam and put in a cool place for a day. Then separate the settled protein and carefully rub it with soda, adding it to the consistency of the dough. Apply the mixture in a thin layer on the chip, connect the broken parts.
A good glue for porcelain can be prepared on the basis of gelatin. Mix a 25% solution of gelatin with vinegar essence in a ratio of 1: 1, apply on a chip, connect the broken parts.
