Repair a broken CHIMINEA style patio fireplace
A friend of mine had some high winds and her patio table was blown into and
knocked over her CHIMINEA style patio fireplace. It was a fairly clean break right where the chimney starts. She has built a small fire in it after the accident and reports that there is only a small amount of smoke leaking around the crack. Looking for something simple to secure the two pieces back together. I thought of fire clay but that might not be so simple. I would prefer something she could do herself. You guys aware of anything in a tube that might work? Some type of fire caulk? This is not a large model but I imagine it does reach a fairly high temperature. This page illustrates the type of product we are talking about: http://www.readingcasual.com/chimineas.htm Colbyt |

Personally I'd be afraid of there being a thousand small hidden cracks just waiting for the worst possible time to cause the whole thing to explode. You're talking about pottery that will be asked to go from ambient temperature to several hundred degrees in a few minutes. Jim |

But nothing may bond well |
