You don't say if the piece has already been fired, or if
there is simply a small chip in the un-fired glaze. If it's
been fired, you can mix a small amount of wallpaper paste
into your glaze. It must be a very small amount, and only
mix it into the glaze you intend to use. Throw out leftovers.
If the piece is not yet fired, mix any sticky substance into
your glaze (white glue, syrup, etc) and brush the glaze onto
the chipped place. If there is WAX on the unglazed part,
then you need to wash the piece, sand off the wax, and
start over.

I'm having a real problem reglazing part of a pot where the glaze has been
chipped off. Since it was a complicated hot wax pattern resist kind of
thing, I really would like to salvage the pot. The problem is that the
glaze is shino, the recipe containing about 65% nepheline syenite. The soda
ash seems to leave a residue that repels reglazing, even with the original
shino. Would a little Vee-Gum in a small amount of glaze help it to adhere?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try some wallpaper paste mixed into the glaze. It drys on like a rock.
Good luck,

Connie,
I'm guessng that you are trying to reglaze an unfired pot where you
scraped wax off of the bisque to reglaze? If so, and the residual wax is a
problem, use a torch or paint stripper to burn the wax off (you can also hold
the area in front of the peep of a firing kiln.)
If the pot has been fired alread and you want to fill in a chipped area,
scrape some glaze off of the wall of the glaze bucket above the glaze level, and
take this paste and "inlay" it in the hole. This can also be done when
refiring pinholing: fill in the holes with glaze paste and then dip the whole
pot in glaze. It is best if you warm the pot up a bit first.
