How To Use A DIY Broken Ceramic And China Repair Kit

By Krystal Branch


Owning a set of china or ceramic cups and utensils may be quite troublesome because these things are easily breakable and require a lot of tender loving care. Now the upside of having these things is that they look really nice and will really look good for the guests that would come over. Now in the event that any of these utensils do break, then one may make use of a DIY broken ceramic and china repair kit.

Now when one would want to purchase this kind of thing, he would have to first check if everything is inside. He has to make sure that inside the kit, there would be a tube of filler, some epoxy, a bunch of acrylic paints, glaze, mixing cups, and an instruction book. Of course the instruction book is filled with all of the necessary information that one would need to start the process.

When one would start out the process, he has to first make sure that he would gather all of the broken pieces in one place. Now the first thing to do here would be to put some of the epoxy on the broken pieces and just stick them back together. From there, one just has to make sure that they are dry and they will be able to hold together.

Of course there would be some small holes and a few crack marks that would still be present even though the pieces are back together. In order to fill in these holes and cracks, one may take out the filler substance in order to mark those parts. So basically, one would be taking out the mixing cups and mixing the fillers so that it can be used.

So all one would have to do here would be to mix a little bit of resin and a little bit of hardener before putting the filler. So all one would have to do would be to apply the mix on to the holes and then apply the filler on top of it. Once that is done, then all he has to do would be to wait for the filler to become hard before he touches the porcelain again.

Of course if there are cracks that are filled in by the filler, the paint on the material will not be that intact anymore. This is where the paints that are part of the kit would come into place. If one has a knack for painting, then he may actually repaint his china.

Now the very last step in the entire process would be to actually give the new porcelain a little shine so that it will look good. Now in order to give it a nice shine, one just has to take out the glaze that can be found in the kit. After putting the clear glaze on the porcelain, it will look as good as new.

So if one has a collection of china and ceramic utensils, then he might as well also buy a DIY broken ceramic and china repair kit. This will help him be able to fix these things just in case they break. He does not need to worry because using these kits is really easy.
