    10 Best Glues for Pottery:

    1. Gorilla Super Glue

    Gorilla Super Glue may be the best glue for broken ceramic because it bonds so well. Use it on wood, paper, leather, rubber and more. It bonds in 10 seconds.

    Even better, it incorporates the brand’s proprietary Impact-Tough technology. Thanks to the inclusion of rubber particles, this glue can stand up to heavy use and harder impacts than most ceramics are likely to be subjected to.

    Also of note with this product is the anti-clog cap. You won’t have to worry about getting the glue out of the bottle, and because of the cap, you can rest assured that the glue won’t dry out between uses.

    Calling it a smart, tough and economical choice, many DIYers are fans of this glue. Some consumers feel like the bottle isn’t full enough. Just keep in mind that this product is sold by weight, not volume.

    Things to Love
    • Dries fast
    • Works on a variety of materials
    • Stands up to impacts
    Things to Consider
    • Sold by weight not volume, so the bottle looks empty

    If you need a tough glue to keep a ceramic repair together, choose Gorilla Super Glue

    2. The Original Super Glue

    Super Glue 15187 , Clear- pack of 12

    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

     

    This pack of 12 tubes is a great choice when you need ceramic glue frequently. Effective on non-porous materials, Super Glue is the ideal choice for broken ceramics.

    Within 10 to 30 seconds, Super Glue is bonded. It can be sanded or painted. Thanks to the precision applicator, it’s easy to repair even the smallest breaks.

    People love that there are no drips or spills from these tubes, and they remark on how strongly Super Glue bonds.

    Nonetheless, some critics are troubled by how difficult it is to open the plastic box that encloses the 12 tubes. The packaging is designed to be extra sturdy so that accidents can’t occur. Just slice the labels on the box to pull the clamshell apart.

    Things to Love
    • Precision applicator
    • Quick, strong bonds

    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Glue for Ceramics

    Epoxies or cyanoacrylate

    When it comes to ceramic repair, most experts agree that the best options are either epoxies or super glues that are based on cyanoacrylate.

    Ceramic epoxy is effective because it creates a strong bond and is good at filling voids. Epoxies come in two separate parts. These are a hardener and a resin. To use them, you must dispense equal amounts of each component onto a mixing surface such as a paper plate.

    The two components are mixed together with a stir stick or a toothpick before being applied to the surface that needs to be adhered to the other surface. From there, the bond forms quickly, often requiring only seconds or minutes.

    While some epoxies are geared toward filling, which can be useful if you have missing chips in the piece that’s being repaired, others are aimed at mending. If you simply need to put two pieces of ceramic back together, then the mending epoxy is perfect.

    Choose an epoxy if the finished ceramic piece needs to be more temperature resistant or withstand pressures. The repair lines typically are larger and more visible than they are with super glue.

    Ceramic glue that contains cyanoacrylate doesn’t require the mixing

    of two components, which simplifies the application process. These adhesives dry more quickly than epoxies, but they cannot fill voids. Nonetheless, they are the ideal choice when delicate, seamless repairs are required.

    Glue for Ceramics FAQs

    What is the best glue for repairing ceramics?

    The answer to this question really depends upon what is being repaired and what the break looks like. When you’re fixing something like a mug that you use every day, goes into the dishwasher and gets heated up in the microwave, then an epoxy is advisable. This adhesive is more heat resistant and better able to withstand pressure.

    When you’re working on something that’s small and delicate, doesn’t get handled every day and doesn’t have to stand up to pressure and extreme temperatures, then super glue can be ideal.

    Will super glue work on ceramic?

    Super glue can be the perfect adhesive for making repairs to ceramic. Many formulas are transparent when they dry, and they excel at joining together two pieces so that no crack or joint is visible. Follow the instructions on the packaging to ensure that you allow the proper drying and bonding time for the best results.

    How long does Gorilla Glue take to dry?

    The super glue variety of Gorilla Glue is able to dry in fewer than 10 seconds. This means that you have to be prepared to work pretty fast once this adhesive is applied to one side of the piece to be repaired.

    How can I ensure that my ceramics repair is a success?

    Aside from using the right kind of adhesive for the repair that you want to do, perhaps the most important thing that you can do is to carefully clean the items that you will be gluing.

    Surfaces that are not pristine will not achieve the strongest possible bond. Moreover, impurities on the surface may cause the glue or epoxy to be cloudy rather than transparent. Always begin with clean surfaces before applying any adhesive.

    Making The Decision

    When a beloved ceramic piece breaks, this does not necessarily mean that it has to be discarded. Instead, it’s advisable to try to repair it.

    Of course, this means finding the best glue for ceramic repairs. After our testing, we are particularly partial to Glue Masters Instant Glue. It’s an economical choice that works like a charm. The thick viscosity is perfect for avoiding drips.

    If you can afford it, then try The Last Glue. There’s simply no better option for heat resistance, and it’s FDA-approved.

    If an epoxy is the better choice for your project, then we suggest that you try J-B Weld ClearWeld. It’s 3,900 PSI bond strength is fantastic, and we’re impressed with just how easy it is to use.
