High Fire mender Instructions:
Mix 2 parts slip or clay to 1 part High Fire Mender. Do not wet the piece to be mended. Fill the jar with any high fire slip or clay to the ridge on the jar. Mix completely.
It is important to only mix one type of slip or clay per jar. Mark each jar with the color and type of slip or clay inside. Yield is 2 ounces once the desired slip/clay is added. Apply mender to both sides with a soft brush. Do not over apply. Press the pieces together. When mender beads out of the sides you have full coverage.. Hold the pieces together a minute or two until they remain joined. If greenware remove excess immediately. Clean when semi dry. If bisque let mender dry completely, then clean it as you would clean greenware. Fire the piece when mender is completely dry. You may apply color before firing. Fire the piece to the same temperature as the slip or clay you mixed with the mender.
For Porcelain, Pottery, Stoneware, Clay.
