How To Use A DIY Broken Ceramic And China Repair Kit

By Krystal Branch


Sometimes when one owns a set of china or ceramic, these things would actually get broken simply because they are made out of very fragile material. One has to be very careful around these things because even just a small hit may actually chip one of these things. So just in case of any type of situation like this, it will always help to know how to use a DIY broken ceramic and china repair kit.

So upon buying one of these kits, one would have to first check if everything inside of it would be complete. Now a list of items inside of the kit would be the epoxy glue, the filler, some acrylic paints along with a brush, some glaze to help shine the material, and of course a book of instructions. So if one would have all these things at hand, then the repairing may begin.

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.

Now one of the issues that the owners of these utensils would have to deal with would be the visible crack marks and the small holes that are still present. Now in order to address this issue, one may actually use the filler inside the package to handle this. So in order to use the filler one would be needing the filler, the mixing cups, resin, and some hardener.

Now in order to use the filler, one would first have to get the mixing cup and put a little bit of resin and some hardener in it. Once the two substances have been mixed, then the next thing to do would be to put the filler and the mixed substance. Once the two things have been applied to the material, then the last thing to do would be to wait for it to dry.

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 of course if one would really want the newly reformed product to look really good, then it will need a good polish. In order to do this, one will just be needing the clear glaze that is somewhere inside of the package. By applying the clear glaze, one will be able to give his restored product a brand new shine that will definitely make it look beautiful.

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.
