Help: Mending old pots! ??

[flowerlady]

Is this possible !! ??  :-X :-\

I have been given some lovely pots for my pation in the past, and during winter they are out on shelves in the under cover passage way along our house ...

.... well this year some cat  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( got in there and has knocked my lovely pots onto the ground ... several are now in pieces (large bits)  :'( :'( :'(

... so I was wondering if it is possible to "glue" them back together somehow ???   :-\

Does anyone have a patent repair remedy ????  :-X

Sad news. Only possible 'invisible' method would be an impact adhesive such as Evo-stick or bostik.
Clean your pots, dry them on a radiator and apply glue to both edges. Wait 10 min's and put them together. Laggy bands will hold them in place for 24 hours.

If you put slightly smaller pots inside, then they will take some of the weight off the mended pots.

In addition to the evostick which does work very well on clean breaks, I have repaired larger pots by getting the smallest possible masonary drill bit and drilling a series of holes along the sides. Do not use the hammer action. Apply glue then staple the pieces through the holes with strong wire.

Not invisible but character added.

thanks guys ... like the idea of putting slightly smaller pots inside :D ... it's a bummer when pretty pots are found and then they get  broken ... mine are usually given to me so they have extra meaning!  :)
