How To Fix Ceramic Plate With Milk

I could hardly believe it.

How to fix ceramic plate with milk.

Gild the flaw and it becomes lovely making permanent the drops and breaks and chips in the porcelain s past. I put a plate that was broken in three separate pieces and scotch taped back together in a large container and submerged it in milk. It s mended with with metallic veins. Non of these vids are mine sub for more credit.

Milk contains a protein casein that with heat can be formed into a natural plastic. Turn the oven on to a very low heat and put the plate inside. You want the milk to cover the leaking area and then some to account for evaporation. Unless you drop your china and it shatters into a million pieces which is usually my luck it probably only suffered a small crack from a fall or mishap.

I never thought this would work but tried it after my son told me it would work. You place your cracked piece in a pot and cover it. It isn t thrown away. A cracked plate will inevitably break if you turn a blind eye.

Use this to your advantage if you ever crack a fine plate or dish that looks fine otherwise by dunking it in. The idea is simple. Yup your china is getting a day at the spa curious about how it works. Then placed it in the refrigerator for three days and pulled out one perfect plate.

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. While the overall effect of kintsugi is that of a repaired ceramic when it s fixed the break in the piece becomes part of its structure and part of its beauty. Just be sure the leaking area remains covered by milk the entire time. Pour milk already close to its expiration date into the teapot.

Now as it warms gently.
