Hello all,

I have a friend that has a large baked porcelain pot used for
the canning process. Dimensions about 18" Diameter and maybe 16"
Deep
Used on a stove to boil water with canning jars inside on a metal
rack
for a period of time till done, etc.

There is a small hole at the bottom outside radius corner. Needless
to say the hole will not allow water to retain itself within the pot
and
most likely will extinguish any flames that are applied to the pot.

The desire is to patch the hole without doing serious damage to
the rest of the pot. Anyone have any knowledge on what type
of repair will work the best with this "Holy Pot"??

Thanks for all of the expert and otherwise suggestions.

When my enameled kettle suffered damage I repurposed it as a wood
stove ash bucket and bought a stainless one, after trying some liquid
enamel repair that didn't last underwater.

That first inexpensive 'stainless' 5 gallon kettle developed a pit
that corroded through so I bought a better second one, and TIG-welded
the hole shut. The heated area rusted but hasn't failed yet, in weekly
use heating laundry water.
