Repairing your glass bowl should only take about five minutes if done correctly.
Things You Will Need
-
Mix the resin and hardener together, which makes the epoxy glue.
-
Clean the pieces of the glass bowl. Put the pieces together as you are going to glue it, so that you know it will go back correctly.
-
Hold one part of the broken bowl, broken edge up, into a pan while you pour sand into the pan to hold it firm. This will hold it in place while you are piecing the bowl together.
-
Use a toothpick and put glue onto broken edges of the glass bowl.
-
Put the pieces of the bowl back together, being careful not to apply too much pressure. If there is any excess glue, clean it with a cotton swab that has acetone on it.
-
Clamp the object together and hold it in place using clothespins. Do not remove the clamps until you are sure the epoxy glue is dried thoroughly; this could take up to one week.
The Drip Cap
- Breaking glass can not only make a mess, but it can also seem hopeless to fix.
- Epoxy glue is best to use when gluing a glass bowl, as it is waterproof when dry, so you will be able to wash it without it coming apart.
