Clay Mender is used to stick wet or dry pieces of greenware together. It is more than just liquid clay. It has chemicals in it that makes it a stronger bond than the existing clay that it mends. It can be used on bisque to join two pieces together, but is primarily for greenware use.
Product Features, Attributes and Application Recommendations:
- If the attachment is a handle or arm like piece, then scoring or marking the area with a Wire Scratch Tool will allow better adhesion of the appendage.
- Apply one light coat of AC-306 to both pieces.
- Apply a generous coat of AC-306 and immediately and firmly press the pieces together, holding them into place for 10-20 seconds until they become affixed.
- Let the area dry. After drying, the areas can then be sanded and smoothed to prepare for decoration.
- A top dressing of an underglaze may be needed. Clay Mender sometimes will show a slightly different colour than the clay being used. There are times when the glaze will not readily adhere to the mended area and the top dressing of an underglaze will overcome this problem.
