What is the best type of glue to bond china/ crystal together?

Question

Elizabeth Michels Pinizzotto · Answer

I use E6000, it was what my fused glass teacher recommended for something I broke and I use it for many things now.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

I use Loctite to repair anything broken. It is availav=ble for china,glass etc.

Hillela G. · Answer

I have also had success with E600 but- make sure that the pieces are held together for a few minutes to ensure proper setting or it may dry a bit thicker and messier than you'd like. Good luck!!

Beth Johnston · Answer

Several other artists and I have discovered 527 glue holds up better than E6000. I use it for all my glue projects. It's available a lot places including online. I get mine at Michaels. I have 'gem trees' that have lasted 20 years.

Thes glues are available at most craft shops, i.e. Michels, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby, and others. They come in a tube usually and are cost effective as well as durable.

Are any of these glues food safe. I am repairing a spout on a favorite tea pot. Thanks.
