How to Fix Broken Glassware

December 17, 2020 by thevettelfarm

I can honestly say this is the first piece of jadeite that I have ever broken. I bought this Fireking grill plate at an antique stop in Illinois. When I purchased the plate it had a hairline crack that I didn’t think anything of, until I got home. Upon opening the box, my heart sank when I saw the shattered piece of jadeite.

Typically chips and cracks do not scare me, especially with more rare pieces of jadeite. This plate typically retails for $35-40, so it truly is worth fixing and Krazy Glue was the perfect solution! Krazy Glue has been a household staple for over 45 years, so I truly trust this brand to help me fix my broken valuables. I chose the Krazy Glue All Purpose with the Precision Tip, so that I could repair this awesome collectible with distinct detail.

Luckily this plate crack was a clean break, which made it easier to repair. If you break a piece of glassware make sure you keep track of all of the pieces. I used the Krazy Glue Precision Tip to put a thin line of glue along one side. I then firmly held both pieces of glass together. Krazy Glue adheres in as little as 10 seconds and takes 24 hours to cure. I was so impressed with how well it bonded so quickly.

There she is all fixed up! I honestly can’t see that there ever was a crack! So have no fear if you drop your most precious piece of jadeite, there is life after a break with Krazy Glue. Find all your Krazy Glue needs here. This product was so easy to use and the bond was perfect for this sturdy piece of glass.

When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project forever,  I truly did. I could not wrap my brain around how to get the back off of a watch, but it is so darn easy! This project literally took me 10 minutes. 

So a few notes, to take the back off of a watch,it’s very simple. You’re going to put a small amount of hot glue on the back of the watch and then glue on a wooden pencil. Let it dry then you’re going to simply twist and it will pop right off. When you’re ready to put the back on the watch, simply peel the glue off and pop it back on.

The other gadget that made this project so simple was the Polaroid printer that I have. I simply took a picture of an existing picture, printed it, and then cut it out by tracing the back of the watch.

The photo itself slips right in front of the watch mechanism so you don’t even have to take anything out if you wanted to keep the watch itself intact. 

I chose to do my mom and both of my grandma’s and I cannot tell you how happy this project makes me feel to see their smiling faces. 💗💗💗💗

Comment PRINTER and I’ll send you the link of the Polaroid printer that I used! Don’t forget to look at that jewelry table at the next garage sale you’re at for those fancy vintage watches!
