Is there a glue suitable for sticking the spout back on to a teapot?
Obviously it would need to be resistant to heat and water, and not
dissolve into the tea and poison us.
Thanks,

How about JB weld. Try the waterweld stuff, drinking water safe and heat
resistant to 300 F / 148 C

Hope that helps


Just as a warning for this material - which I agree might tolerate the
temperature - it does set with a definite grey colour which would be
all too apparent if this is a white teapot.

I know this is a bit geekish, but I've used one of the other JB Weld
epoxies to make a methylated spirit stove out of a beer can - at about
1 oz this is very satisfactory for ultra lightweight camping.

Thats why I use a clearish epoxy.

Its actually pretty good,and I can add microballoons to make it white.

As I said. setting it at a higher temperature than it will get in use,
makes it pretty safe from that point of view.
