Hi, Kathy.
Any glue will work as long as the piece will be held in place by gravity
once the glue burns out. I use silicone, but that's just because it's what I
have on hand. Don't get any around the edges, though, or it will resist your
glaze.
This is fine to use on decorative accents and things that won't be under any
mechanical stress during use. Glaze alone isn't good enough for holding
anything that's going to be under pressure to perform.

Try the high fire mender from Bailey. You have to rebisque but it has
mened cracks in Porcelain handles. You could also try paper clay repair.
I have used that with toilet paper and the clay body. Then rebisque. We
rebuilt a student's pithcer which had fallen into many pieces. It worked
with the paper clay repair mix and was successfully glazed fired.

I don't know anything that will work well without bisqueing again. I
suppose you could try hope and wood glue but far better to
use paper clay and bisque again. Duncan used to make something
called Biquefix which worked well, but it also involved bisqueing
again.

Kathy--there's a furnace-patching compound called Rescor that will repair
bisque, can be sanded, and will absorb glaze. I have a phone number for
it--if you're interested, get in touch with me off list.

Kathy, I have a friend who uses paper clay with a small amount of sodium
silicate added to it. She has had 100% success with it. She also adds a
small amount of sodium silicate to the glaze which is applied to the
cracked/broken area. I haven't had anything to try it on yet, but I will
experiment with it in the future.
