Default Healing Cracked bowls

firewood pile and ask yourself why you spent a lot on a bowl blank.

...MHO.

1- this is science. I wanted to see if there was anything to this
story about fixing a crack, and reported accordingly.

2. No money at all in the blank, but a little time. The jug of glue
was already there and not being used. The water was free. The one that
worked was a freebie since it was destined for the dump. I don't use
firewood.

3. If I ever DO have an expensive bowl that cracks, I now know that
there is some possibility of fixing it.

4. I'm moving, I'm moving on.
