There are so many different types of glue that it can be tricky to work out what kind of glue to use on ceramic. So, here are some tips.
When choosing the right glue for ceramics and porcelain, you should look for multipurpose glues which can be used on a range of different materials and surfaces.
Even fragile and awkwardly shaped ceramic objects like candle holders can be fixed with ceramic glue
Underneath the shiny glaze, ceramic and porcelain are, in fact, porous materials, so you need a glue that will work on porous surfaces. If there are cracks in your broken ceramic or porcelain items, then you should also look for ceramic glue that can fill in gaps. Also, if you need to fix a mug or plate that you use for serving food and drink, a food safe ceramic glue is the right choice.
Repairing broken ceramic doesn’t need to be difficult. Get started with our step-by-step guide.
- Collect all of the broken ceramic pieces. Then assemble them without gluing to ensure you’ve got all the pieces to work with.
- Apply a thin line of ceramic glue.
- Press the pieces together. If you don’t get it right first time make sure to reposition before the glue dries.
- Firmly hold the pieces together to ensure that the surfaces bond properly.
- Remove any excess glue using Loctite Glue Remover.
Once you’ve fitted the broken pieces, you’re ready to apply the ceramic glue. This is easy to do if you choose a glue with a squeeze bottle and nozzle.
