My Terra Cotta flower pot fell and broke in half. Is there?

My Terra Cotta flower pot fell and broke in half. Is there any way that this pot can be glued together. I did try crazy glue but it did not take. The pot is pourous and think this might have been the cause for not adhering.


Thank you one and all for any assistance that you can provide.

Use waterproof silicone caulk, press the broken edges together, and bind the pot with wire to hold it together while the caulk cures. Allow at least 24 hours before you loosen the wire, and another 24 before you mess with it much.





I just realized it's possible we're talking about a very large pot here. So, here are a couple more methods that you might have better success with.





Use a small masonry bit and drill holes along the sides of the broken edges, and wire it together, kinda like suturing a sternum lol (I've had that done, so I know what I'm trying to say, you may be looking all crazy at your computer screen). Use silicone caulk for a little extra hold before you start suturing.





Use an epoxy, and roll out one long thin rope of it, long enough to cover the entire break. Press it on one side, then press the other side into it, wire around the pot and twist it toght to hold in place until the epoxy cures. Follow the curing instructions on the label. Then you can sand the excess, and paint over it with a terra cotta paint.
Reply:The reason is terracotta is the same material as bricks. It is porous and crumbly. Super glue will just make it crumble off a new layer.





Home improvement stores sell squeeze bottles of cement repair epoxy. You can glue your pot back together with it as it will fill the porous holes with epoxy giving a stronger bond.





Or for less money, you can go to the Dollar Store and buy a new pot for $1
Reply:Try the crazy glue again, taking care to work the product into the pot. Your first attempt may have sealed the clay, allowing a second attempt to be more successful.





Good luck
Reply:Buy a new pot they are not that expensive.
Reply:why don't you just go out and buy a knew pot.this time get a plastic one so if it falls it will not brake.
