Reparing crock glaze? - 8/15/2009 9:03:00 PM    vanhoesenj   Posts: 1 Joined: 8/15/2009 Status: offline Hi all - I have a 4gal crock that's in pretty good shape but the inside of the crock has a few pot marks in it that breaks the glaze.  I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts about repairing this so I can use it for an actual crock (kraut, pickles, etc).  I searched the archives but I don't want to use oil paint or bondo.    Thanks in advance!

The only way to know if it was repaired is if someone tells you but saying that I would also say that there are some that do average or below average jobs. I really don't know if it is possible to reglaze a piece the way it was originally glazed but I do know that there are a number of cold glazing methods that could be used. I would go to some antique shops and ask around or call a local pottery den and inquire about repairs......Good Luck.......Greg _____________________________ Ok if were gonna dig it............. were gonna dig it all the way !

The Proc-a-fix is great stuff. I have used it on sinks, basens, tubs and stoves. I plan on trying it on some pots and pans. It is also great for replacing the porcelan in jewelry. < Message edited by capsoda -- 8/19/2009 4:07:59 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to Clam) Post #: 4

Most old glazes contained lead which will slowly leach into your food. Glass or plastic would be much safer.
