How to Fix a Broken Ceramic Vase

Introduction

Use this guide to repair cracks or broken pieces on a ceramic vase. Cracks can cause water leakage and prevent you from displaying your delicate flowers inside of your vase. Gorilla glue adhesive and putty can help seal the cracks and prevent water leakage. Before using this guide inspect the damage of the vase. Cracks that are small or higher up may not require the use of putty. Be sure to wash your hands after using adhesive because it can irritate your skin and eyes. Adhesive can also be dangerous if accidently digested.
