20 Gallon Crock in need of repair - 4/20/2006 7:38:38 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I recently purchased a nice 20 gallon crock that is covered in area's with thick tar. In one spot it's at least 1/4 inch thick.It's a poor attempt at a repair. I tried to use a wire brush attachment for my drill and that quickly got gummed up and is no longer taking off the tar. At first I wanted to get the tar off of the crock and leave the cracks packed. Now I just want to get the tar off and repair it the right way. Any advice on how to do this the right way? I'm also crazy about trying to find and repair crocks that I dug and want to know what is the best glue/epoxy to use to fix it right. I tried crazy glue and super glue and they seem like they work and then when you lest expect it, it falls apart in your hands. Any pottery repair expert's out there? Please help. Thanx, Jason Post #: 1

They have tar remover for your car, it should work. < Message edited by JGUIS -- 4/27/2006 5:08:59 PM > _____________________________ Problems are not solved by the same level of thinking that created them.
