Just broke my mom's expensive David Bowie mug. I literally jinxed it, because just yesterday i though "oh what if i accidentally brake it, that would be terrible" and here we are. This mug was an expensive gift and i was told as a joke never to accidentally brake it. Damn

What kind of epoxy is typically recommended for this kind of repair?

@boredwools2158 Жыл бұрын

PC Products adhesive; PC-Clear "clear liquid epoxy" ambient cured, thick consistency. PS. If you use a thin epoxy, the porous ceramic will interfere. Get the thicker stuff.

If the brass wire is covered by clay, is it still microwave safe?

@artistryinglass943 Ай бұрын

Hi Gary, that's a great question! The real answer is that you should never place a repaired coffee mug in the microwave (metal handle/armature or not). This is because the glue and any epoxy filler or paint is NOT FIRED ON. So the repaired mug becomes a display piece - not to be used under any circumstances (unless you want to fix it again). PS Thanks for viewing the vid!

@johnwakefield5633 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Taz, many people feel the best way is to let the glue dry and then use a razor blade to cut/trim/scrape the glue off. Otherwise, use acetone/ nail polish remover. Thanks for the question!

After a standard porcelain mug handle is fixed, can it be used in a microwave oven to reheat coffee? what type of epoxy or glue do you recommend? Will super glue or epoxy withstand the microwave or dishwasher?

@johnwakefield5633 4 ай бұрын

Hi Barry, thanks for watching my video. Some less-than-honest repairers may claim that repaired mugs can be used - either in the microwave or otherwise BUT no glue will withstand repeated or even occasional use for your favorite cup of coffee or tea. We tell all our customers that a mug with a fixed handle becomes a DISPLAY piece only.

What’s a good type of dye for a black mug? This is for the chip method. My favorite mug got a pretty bad chip and it breaks my heart to see it like that.

Hi Grecia, thanks for watching my video. If it's worth $15.00 to you, try this black epoxy from Bigbong - amzn.to/47cOIOs . Be sure to clean the broken surface before applying the glue. After it sets up, sand and polish. Or, you can use any 2-part epoxy you have available and tint it black with lead scraped off from a lead pencil (not so good). Please subscribe to my channel - best wishes John

Explain that true love is more valuable than a ceramic artifact. Get down on your knees and apologize to your girlfriend and tell her that you will do anything in your power to make this better except that you cannot possible bring her coffee mug back to life.

Hi! just watched the video. I have a mug I brought all the way from London to California then discovered it has a long hairline fracture. If I use DAP as suggested, does that mean I cannot drink from the mug? It's a Starbucks mug, I think it's china

Hi Theresa, I don't suppose you are the former Conservative Prime Minister (just retired from the House of Commons)? If so - congratulations on having the sense to emigrate to California!. On the mug - it's OK to use occasionally if you insist BUT much better to keep it as a displayed souvenir. With heat and washing the crack will widen and extend. Thanks for watching my video!

WOW this guide is pretty useless. I think everyone could guess they need to clean and glue the pieces together. They are probably on here looking for advice about how best to clean and what is the best glue to use. On to the next video…
