<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 394591, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; Elmers glue is a white glue usually used by children. It is very mild when mixed with cornstarch to thicken and make it more like a putty. You then fill in the missing pieces and let it dry. Then you can lightly sand it and either cover it with a rub in gold finish, just to make your repair look good. It is all reversible and will not cause permanent harm. You use baking soda instead of corn starch on earthenware. It is great on china repair like Fiestaware, you use the corn starch on porcelain. It is an easy fix on pieces that are not used but on display. it can be reversed with no damage. Just a hint I learned at the Metropolitan Museum repair studio. Never do a permanent repair that might cause trouble down the road. I fixed a bad crack on a porcelain teacup by boiling it in milk for&nbsp; 10 mins. The crack never got bigger and never leaked even after being used for many years later. The milk also colored the crack so it was not visible to the naked eye but was slightly visible under magnification.&nbsp; </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
