Ceramic Repair Techniques

Ceramic repair techniques are methods used to fix broken or damaged ceramic items, like pottery or tiles. Common techniques include using adhesives specifically designed for ceramics, which bond the pieces together. For larger cracks, epoxy is often used for strength. In some cases, broken pieces can be reattached using a method called "kintsugi," where the cracks are filled with lacquer mixed with gold, creating a beautiful effect. Another approach involves filling in gaps with specialized putty, followed by sanding and painting to match the original finish. These techniques restore functionality and can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the item.
