Was the plate greenware or bisque? I have a sculptural figural piece that I
just took out of the bisque. There's a crack around one breast - not wide
open, but open. I'm wondering how to repair... if I use your Papooze, I
and then bisque again, do you think that might work? I'd like to fill in
the gap perfectly of course, but I plan to add slips and glazes so if it's
not perfect it should work anyway...
any ideas if Papooze or Spooze won't work???
Thanks!
