28897B 4-Ounce Bisque Fix

As others in reviews have noted, Amazon sends this in a manila bubble wrap envelop. If the post office drops it, the hard plastic jar will break and spill all the contents inside & outside the envelop. That's what happened with my first order. They sent a replacement and it was packaged the same; however, this time it wasn't broken. This stuff DOES WORK! I've mended greenware and bisque-fired pottery. It's amazing stuff and others in my pottery club have fixed their broken pieces with it. Best product I've found that actually works! You do need to fire or re-fire prior to glazing, but that hasn't been an issue for me or anyone else who I know who has used this product. Amazon should send this in a small box with some bubble wrap to ensure the container isn't smashed by the post office before it arrives!

This stuff is fantastic. Follow the directions carefully and it will work great to patch together broken bisque. I used it to stick small figurines to the inside of mugs before glazing (like a small whale figurine on the inside of a cup painted like the ocean), and had absolutely no issues with the figurines breaking off. If you're looking to use this for that purpose, it's a great choice. I also used it to re-attach a handle of a mug and no one could tell the difference once I was done and the piece was glazed (the handle was shaped like an octopus tentacle, so it had some texture to begin with). Because it's somewhat gritty, it would pretty much be impossible to put together a broken cup or piece perfectly - although it would work if you REALLY wanted said cup to be put back together, but don't expect it to look just like new again.

This arrived completely dried out and solid. It’s not even usable after it dries out. Waste of money and waste of time spent waiting for it to arrive. I will be returning. Super disappointed. 😔

I create tiny sculpts that have small pieces and have always struggled with getting the parts to bond together. I tried slip but never had much success with it, when the piece would reach bone dryness often the parts would separate again. I asked my local ceramic store for a suggestion and they recommended this product. And it works REALLY well! I always use this to bond parts together now while I'm working with raw clay. In the rare event I have a part fall off in firing, I use this to re-bond the parts before the final glaze firing. After it dries it takes underglaze just like the clay does. I've used it to glue parts back on, painted it with underglaze, applied clear glaze over it all and then fired in the glaze fire and it comes out looking like the part never came off. I will never be without a jar of this on my workspace!

Bisque Fix is great for low and mid fire clays that break after a bisque fire. Depending on your glaze choice, you can fix your piece (depending on how complicated your break is of course) and glaze seamlessly over it. It is harder to use on cone 10 firing though I think is still one of the more viable products for high fire repair. I'll never forget someone saying to me when I first recommended it in a new class I was taking, "What do they teach you over there?" as I had come in from another program where they used it extensively. Once they tried it and saw how it worked, they now recommend it to everyone who has a need to fix bisque. My only complaint is this stuff is expensive and it dries out quickly once it's opened. Currently, I cut a circle of heavy plastic and place it on the surface of the bisque fix to keep air off the product, screw the top on, place it in a baggie, use a straw to suck all the air out of the baggie, then put the jar in the baggie in a closed, glass container with a lid. Fingers crossed, it will make the product last longer.

It worked!! I had a pretty big crack in a face when it came out of the kiln. You could stick a dime through the crack that’s how big it was. You could hardly see it after I used this product.

Made an octopus bowl for my daughter and one limb fell of during bisque firing. Attached that sucker back on, glazed the bowl and it looks great! Worth every dollar.

I had a beautiful cup that the handle separated from the cup after the bisque fire. Since I'd spent so much time on the decoration, I thought I'd give Amaco Bisque Fix a try. I carefully dripped it in the gap between the cup and handle. Wiped the excess with a damp sponge. Waited a couple minutes and repeated this process until I'd filled the gap. Then I bisque fired the piece again. It is perfect! There is no indication that there was ever any problem with the handle!

Good quality but very poor shipping as communication.

There was an issue..product froze.. but company reimbursed me and made it right..in cold climes this can be an issue..all in all it’s what happens when there is an issue that counts...Wayne

O pote não aguentou e vazou todo o conteúdo dentro da embalagem. Estou bem chateada. Um produto caro.

I ordered this in desperation. A bisque-fired piece of pottery broke during glazing. This product feels gritty, and seems almost too liquid, but it did bond the two pieces well. I had to hold them together for probably less than 5 minutes. I put a little extra on the seam, then sanded it down smooth. If it doesn't survive the glaze fire, I will update this review.

J'ai retourné l'article car il était défectueux.
