What's the best glue for porcelain?

[Scathach]

I have a Princeton Unicorn that is in serious need of repair – broken legs, tail, and horn.

I’ve used white glue on Windstones, but I’m not sure in this case. It’s got to hold well, because he’ll need to stand on those repaired legs.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

China glue works well on porous materials. My dad has a coffee mug that is porcelain or ceramic that I’ve repaired the handle with china glue. Other glues don’t seem to hold up too well to regular washing in the dishwasher that the mug receives. The glue works alot like super glue and will hold almost instantly. It seems to work the best on porous materials. I tried it on resin once and it wouldn’t hold.

Which glue you use might depend on how fast you need the glue to do the initial hold. White glue(I’d use a craft one like Aleene’s rather than a school one) has a longer working time but can be slow to tack. Glues like china or super glue are fast tacking but you have very little working time especially once the two surfaces touch.

thanks for the suggestion. Where to get? somewhere like Home Depot?

I’m not sure where to get it. We’ve had ours for a long time. Maybe try a hardware store. I found the product page of the stuff I have. LePage China Weld Adhesive
