Repair Question, 10 gallon
Question:
I saw the post about singsuper glue to repair a crack. My wife has a Redwing 10 gallon crock she got from her deceased granny. I wasn’t careful and dropped a log on it causing a large 4"x4" pie shaped piece to break off the bottom. Is super glue appropriate to reattach that? Thanks, Jim
Answer: I usually apply liquid Super Glue to the crack and apply a tourniquet to the crock for 24 hours. After the glue as dried (do not wipe Super Glue when wet or you will get a white film on your piece that is very hard to remove) I use a razor blade to remove any excess. Just make sure you read the label on the glue to make sure it does not affect any food you may process in your crock. Al Kohlman
