Well, I have a new appreciation for those who do professional pottery and ceramic restoration. I decided to glue together some of the shards from my dig with Alan, Chris and Doug. This was a difficult task! Right off the bat, I superglued two of my fingers together. This was right before I was supposed to go out to dinner with my family, so I tried to use scissors to separate them, but this only inflicted more damage. Finally got the fingernail polish remover to soften it enough to get them apart. The finished pieces stay together, but the cracks look like they have a space between them - I didn't get them sealed in tight enough. I also realized I should have done a much better job cleaning the pieces, especially the edges, before gluing. It was a learning experience, and I think I would do better next time, but I certainly won't practice on anything that is particularly important!
