How to Repair Cracked Ceramic with Casein Milk-Based Glue Casein is the predominant protein in milk.

Casein glue is one of the last commonly-used natural glues. It would not be strong enough to glue together a broken teapot but does very well to repair cracked ceramic cracks or gaps. When milk sours, casein precipitates out. Remove the liquids and let the casein dry. Your teapot should be sealed. Stretch the tape part (not the gauze) of a waterproof band aid over the outside of the gap and burnish it down. Pour milk (already close to its expiration date) into the teapot.

You want the milk to cover the leaking area and then some to account for evaporation. If you can carefully tip and support the pot in a safe place, you can use less milk and the process will go more quickly. Just be sure the leaking area remains covered by milk the entire time.

The milk will seep into the gap. As it sours and evaporates, the casein is left behind. Check from time to time to make sure that milk isn’t leaking out around the band aid strip. Let the pot sit until the milk really smells. Then pour the spoiled milk out. Remove the band aid.

Rinse the pot lightly and let it air dry for a couple of days. Wash with soapy water and put the teapot back to use. If you want to use the dishwasher for such a fine piece (though I doubt you would), let it cure another week before testing the bond under such stress. Place it on the top rack. How to Repair Cracked Ceramic with Super Glue You’ll need baking soda and super glue (cyanoacrylate) which contains phthalic anhydride. The phthalic anhydride additive improves the glue’s heat and water resistance.

Most super glues routinely include it today. Rub baking soda into the crack under the teapot’s spout. Get as much into the crack as possible.

Wipe excess baking soda from the glazed ceramic surface with a moistened tissue. Apply super glue over the crack and allow about 5 seconds for it to seep in.

Wipe any excess glue from the ceramic surface with a dry tissue. If you’ve ever watched acrylic nail tips being applied, you may have noticed the manicurist wipe away excess (cyanoacrylate) nail glue deftly with one firm quick swipe. If you don’t do it just right, bits of tissue can be torn off and stick to the ceramic surface.

It would be a good idea to practice the timing and motion on another glossy surface like acetate, acrylic, glass or the bottom of an everyday china plate or cup. Baking soda fused with heat and water-resistant super glue forms a durable lightweight filler and adhesive. You’ll only be using a tiny bit of super glue, but if you are sensitive to the fumes, work in a well-ventilated area. Your teapot is cracked all the way through. So, if you can reach inside to work on the spout area, repeat the baking soda and super glue process there as well.
