Hi Gerald, Thanks for sharing your info about the healing powers of
watery glue. I remember that several good turners have recommended it,
but recently it seems the enthusiasm has waned. I assume that 'healing'
by soaking means that the crack walls are drawn or pressed together by
the diluted glue, not 'repaired' by being glued together? Haven't tried
it myself. I'm too old to wait for glue to dry.

I'm no statistician, but even if it doesn't rise to the level of being
"evidenced based" which I see by the paper is the 'in-word' used by
politicians involved in
health care (they could use some glue on themselves) your results gives
us Crackers with cracked bowls some hope.


At least, 50% is a coin flip and a much better chance than my cracked
NIP bowls have for healing themselves. Some actually do. Whew 60+ bowls
with only 5 cracked. With that record I'd forget the glue and sell the
five as art. If you weren't a good net friend, I'd accuse you of either
bragging or fudging. Anyway you've been too busy to get into any real
trouble.

BTW, I've plagiarized many of your great philosophical 'sign offs' Keep
em coming.


Turn to Safety, Arch
Fortiter
