AMACO28897B 4-Ounce Bisque Fix

It worked!! I had a pretty big crack in a face when it came out of the kiln. You could stick a dime through the crack that’s how big it was. You could hardly see it after I used this product.

Worked good on a repair in bisque I did. It held.

Do not recomend buying this product from Amazon! I received the first one, hard as a rock. Amazon quickly replaced with another, also hard as a rock. It is a very sensitive product and requires special handling, cannot freeze or be exposed to air or it gets hard and is not useable. Had to return. Amaco is a great company, it's a good product. I recommend you buy from a ceramic dealer who knows how to store and keep this product. I posted on FB Amaco site and received 43 comments the same results from Amazon. Could be storage facility or delivery trucks where it is freezing. Call Amaco and find out where you can buy new batch close to you, should be a creamy paste you can stir. There are lots of youtube videos on how to use and store this product.

If you have a piece, bone dry, bisqued or glazed with a crack, use the liquid to save it. It's important to sand the area of the treated crack & its surrounding area to blend in the clay particles to add strength & to blend the color as much as possible. The liquid dries fairly quickly & it will be white. It can be ued as a kiln friendly adhesive for repair as well. Clean the lid & threaded rim with water before re-sealing & add a tiny layer of water on the surface when storing.

This product works well.

I had a beautiful cup that the handle separated from the cup after the bisque fire. Since I'd spent so much time on the decoration, I thought I'd give Amaco Bisque Fix a try. I carefully dripped it in the gap between the cup and handle. Wiped the excess with a damp sponge. Waited a couple minutes and repeated this process until I'd filled the gap. Then I bisque fired the piece again. It is perfect! There is no indication that there was ever any problem with the handle!

It took me too long to open the container to return it. Once I opened it, it was solid, I then read that if it gets too cold or too hot this can happen and it needs to be thrown out. I missed the return window.

Bisque Fix is great for low and mid fire clays that break after a bisque fire. Depending on your glaze choice, you can fix your piece (depending on how complicated your break is of course) and glaze seamlessly over it. It is harder to use on cone 10 firing though I think is still one of the more viable products for high fire repair. I'll never forget someone saying to me when I first recommended it in a new class I was taking, "What do they teach you over there?" as I had come in from another program where they used it extensively. Once they tried it and saw how it worked, they now recommend it to everyone who has a need to fix bisque.My only complaint is this stuff is expensive and it dries out quickly once it's opened. Currently, I cut a circle of heavy plastic and place it on the surface of the bisque fix to keep air off the product, screw the top on, place it in a baggie, use a straw to suck all the air out of the baggie, then put the jar in the baggie in a closed, glass container with a lid. Fingers crossed, it will make the product last longer.
