Dear Howard,
I have made a paper clay spooze using clay slip toilet paper and a
little caro syrup and vinegar,
I use a tiny jiffy mixer on a variable speed drill and make a cup or so
at a time.
Then re bisque. This has made amazing repairs including shattered
handles. The handles when finished with a glazes are strong and durable.
Best wishes,
