How to glue ceramic back together.

You need waterproof glue and although carpenter s glue is. When you break a ceramic vase or plate it doesn t have to go into the trash you can often glue the pieces back together seamlessly. Use self gripping tweezers to hold each broken piece of ceramic. Glue the tile back together again since super glue dries fast make sure to apply the glue to the correct part of the tile that you intend to repair.

Choose a clear epoxy glue and apply a thin coat to one of the sides that will fit together. Use as little glue as you can to prevent glue build up between the pieces. Apply the epoxy or super glue to the end of an ice cream stick and dab the adhesive onto one of broken edges then press it into the corresponding edge with light pressure. As repairing all of the broken pieces of a ceramic item requires precision it must be in a place that is secure so that it won t move too much as you glue it back together.

Hold each piece in place until it s stable then release it. This area should be the side where the tile broke. A slower drying glue will give you time to fit the piece and get it pressed into place. Use the nozzle of the glue bottle to apply a generous amount of the adhesive to the broken edges of the tile.
