i have found trowel eez to be the best patching material...it is expensive
but well worth it.
it is much better than greenpatch, or sairset.
itc has a product for patching that is also wonderful.
you can glue bisque together. sand it off ,and fire it up.
mel.mn.
p.s. won't it be wonderful when we can just stick a modual on top
of our kilns..(for a roof).......one person, just place it on the top...
then we will not have to argue about flats and arches...cuzz they
both are almost obsolete.

patch greenware and bisqueware will not shrink-will not discolor
It is called "Easy-Do Mender" The address on the label is as follows:

Bisque repair. Instructions say to thicken slip with APTII enhancer until
it becomes a clay mixture. Shape into a pencil & allow to dry. Chinga fire
pencil to a Cone 018. This is part of the receipe to repair cracks in
bisque ware. Would it work to re-attach a leg that has popped off do you
think? Maybe I just need to make a peg leg for the dog. Thank you for all
your help. Linda Marcoux

It seems that the Apt-II is more for repairing cracks than reattaching,
although it could work just fine. I really don't know. You might have
better luck with the Magic Mender and High-Fire mender mfgr'ed by Marx
Brush. It lists the following uses:
"Repairs--Add-ons--Attaching flowers, ribbons etc.--Repairs broken
pieces--Fixes hairline cracks-Attach greenware to greenware--Attach
greenware to bisque--Attach bisque to bisque--removes hard spots."
Their info sheet also states: "After firing the repaired area is
stronger than the rest of the piece. If you clean well before firing,
you'll never know the break was there."
Good luck!

I have used the following to mend bisque from blown out chunks on large
sculptur to broken handles on students' projects.
for a 1/4 cup of mending slip:
Powder of the clay body needing to be fixed use about 2 tablespoons
ground fine
Toilet paper at least ten sheets shredded and llet to sit overnight in
a little water
mix the above with"
Corn syrup about a half teaspoon
vinegar again about a half teaspoon
a little water to make it pliable
Mix well..I use a tiny jiffy mixer or a blender
Mend the piece and re-bisque. Then do whatever you intended to do in
the first place.

Paperclay does all that without any fuss, and if you use a ^5 or 6 clay you
can use it for lower or higher ^ as well Vera

Cindy, where does one find this magic stuff? We use something at school
that won't take a glaze (I've forgotten what it's called) so although the
piece is functional after being repaired, it's obviously been repaired.
Ugly charcoal gray...
I would have loved to fix the great little pipkins I made that blew their
legs off in firing...

Sorry to take so long to respond. I've been out with a nasty sinus
infection. I have finally finished going through over 300 clayart
messages!!!! Anyway, Magic Mender is available from (I think) most
pottery suppliers. Check with whoever you usually get your supplies
from. If you get no luck there, here's the link to order it from
Brackers (price is $3.96):
http://www.brackers.com/store/results_detail.cfm?cat=420&prodid=MATMAGIC_HIGH
for the high fire
http://www.brackers.com/store/results_detail.cfm?cat=420&prodid=MATMAGIC_LOW
for the low fire
Good luck!
