I had a terracotta saucer that had fallen and split in two. I used guerrilla wood glue and it set for a couple of weeks. Then to filling the chips I used the wood glue and a diaper wipe. I think it will hold up. Your pot cleaned up very nicely.
Thanks, yes it's still in one piece. I have some lavender growing in it. Well done on repairing your pot - your chip filling technique sounds good! Cheers!
Love, Love, LOVE your tips! Your teaching abilities are quite engaging. Then, so is your accent. 😅😊❤ Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I can't wait to use it! 🎉❤😅
Great presentation. I will look into Gorilla glue you used in response to other comments. I have 4 large pots. Only 2 have cracks, but one is broken into 5 pieces. Maybe I'll try to salvage it. Very impressive methods you've shown here, specifically using the "bungie cords" to hold pot together while curing. I would only suggest to viewers to try placing pieces together 1st before glueing as sometimes some pieces won't fit in after other pieces are in place. Also, I wonder if I can coat inside of pot with something before reuseing, such as morter or cement to protect mend from inside from moisture later? You present very intelligently. Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching and for your comments! The gorilla glued pot is still as strong as ever! I have grown lavender in it and it is doing well. Cheers!👍
Thank you so Much youve helped my Mother so much She had a small and big little vases That she had and she liked them alot but then One Collapsed on accident and then she saw this tutorial and it Helped her Alot 😁😀😀
Wow amazing!! What would you suggest to keep the pressure on just the pot base while the glue dries? (I’m referring to the terracotta plate beneath the pot, which is the part I broke).
Japanese Kintsugi repair kit is the way to go, highly recommended. Knowing a pot is glued up would normally annoy me to no end. “a traditional Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, highlighting the brokenness rather than disguising it”
The garden pot I used in the video is clay based with reasonably thick walls so the glue had something to stick to. If your pot is similar you may get a similar result. Cheers and good luck! 👍
Some great tips here. I assume its not as good for withstanding stress if full of soil so is it better to use plants in a plastic pot inside the repaired pot?
Thanks for watching. I assumed the same at first so I just placed a plastic pot (with plant) inside but then decided to plant directly into the repaired pot. I chose some lavender and it's been fine for several months now. Lavender of course doesn't require much water so I thought that would place less stress on the repair. Prior to breaking, the pot had a mature yucca that had an extensive and over crowded root system which placed much pressure on the pot and made it very precarious to remove and as such the pot broke whilst removing the yucca. I used a lot of Gorilla Glue during the repair and it seems strong at the moment (it's outside in the weather too) but of course there are no guarantees so the safest option would be to use a plastic pot inside. Cheers! 👍
Thanks for this. Which type of Gorilla glue did u use - I have an outside pot with decorative handles and one has dropped off in the frost 😢 - that’s something we have in the UK ;-)
Hi, I used the standard one. It says Original Gorilla Glue on the bottle and comes in different sizes (not the gel). I'm in southern Australia, so we have frosts down here too, although maybe not that cold...⛄😉
You're a lucky one. My pots always break in many, multiple size pieces. Quite a challenge to find/fix those excessively small/tiny pieces. Curious to know why you did not clean off excess glue, while still wet & pliable? Thnx for vid!
No worries. I waited for it to dry as per the instructions and to ensure the strongest bond rather than risk disturbing it. Gorilla Glue is very sticky and wiping the excess while wet may have created smears that may have been impossible to remove. Cheers! 👍

I am going to try this method on my big terracota pot. Will let you know how it went. Thank you.
Cheers, good luck!

No worries I'm glad it worked out well for your Mum's vases! Cheers! 👍😃

Hard to say without actually seeing it but as long as there is at least some pressure applied. Cheers, and good luck!👍
If I could give you 4 thumbs-up,... GOOD JOB!
Cheers! Thanks for watching! 👍
Great video! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks! Glad you watched and enjoyed it! 🙂

I found that the Gorilla foaming glue leaks after it is day? I glued a bird bath back together, not good for that!!
Well done! Thanks!
Cheers! 👍
can you use this glue for a crack in a pot? I have several that are cracked and do not want to throw them out thank you in advance...NSW 2850

Thanks, I hope your Mom finds it useful!
