  1. Lay out the towel and place all of the pieces of the lamp on the towel. Practice putting the lamp back together before gluing so you know exactly where each piece fits.

  2. Wipe the edges of each piece of ceramic with an old damp cloth to remove any loose debris.

  3. Apply Super Glue to one edge of the ceramic and stick it to another piece of ceramic, like fitting a puzzle together. Hold the pieces together for 1 minute.

  4. Wipe any excess glue off of the outside of the ceramic with an old damp cloth and continue gluing all of the pieces together until the lamp is whole again.

  5. Allow 24 hours for the lamp to completely dry.

  6. Dip the cotton swabs or pour acetone-based fingernail polish remover on the cotton squares and rub down the outside of the ceramic lamp to remove all excess glue that may have escaped your attention.

Tips

If the ceramic pieces are not sticking together as well as they should, use a piece of 80-grit sandpaper to roughen the edges before applying the glue. You will need to remove any glue that is on the surface before sanding. This can be done with acetone-based fingernail polish remover.
