Here's another routine ceramic repair. This one, a fine porcelain figurine. A simple repair showing the basics of this kind of repair. Also a quick demo of my method of color matching. I'll address this a length in another video.
Music: my original compositions, written and performed by me: "Polka Dot Dog" and "Promenade".
Thanks to Ellen Wight for the camera work. I couldn't do this without your help. Thanks!

I came on board just to see what type of glue you used for your repairs and ended up watching the whole video. I learned how to do the repairs, and how to fill the gaps and cracks, plus. I subscribed. you do beautiful work.

I'm glad to be of help. Welcome!

I don’t know how I found this channel- but it’s absolutely fascinating work to watch.

@kenc2257 Месяц назад

Another super repair job. Haven't seen you use that matte restoration glaze before--very informative. Also not familiar with Kaiser porcelain, but this particular piece is lovely.

@nancyparmelee4161 5 лет назад

Wow! I just found your channel. I dropped a box that held some sentimental figurines and shattered 3 or 4 of them . I thought I would see how other people have done repairs and pick up a few tips. I must say watching you just blew me away. I thought wow this guys really good! This is very professional, and looking at your hands , I bet he plays guitar too, and sure enough, you do. My dad played guitar and was a guitar maker so I’ve watched him repair a lot of stuff. I don’t have any airbrush skills but I have his files that he used to file down the frets so maybe they work, they’re really small. I’m going to look for the epoxy for the cracks. My dad would use tape like little clamps and I watched him spray beautiful sunburst designs on guitars. I wish he were still alive to help me fix these figurines but he is with me every time I do a project or watch someone like you who does amazing work. Thanks so much for sharing you talent.

I've been watching a few of his videos, and I've started fixing a few pieces of my own ceramics. I don't have his bonding agent, so I'm just using epoxy from the hardware store. They're not valuable pieces, so I don't mind using cheaper repair materials.

@heidim6468 8 месяцев назад

Hi Martin I would like to ask you a question of the glue you use. Have you ever used Araldite and do you feel the A&B Apoxy you use is better?

@marsgitar 8 месяцев назад

Yes, I've used Araldite. It's a good bonding agent. I've not used it as a fill. I use A+B putty as a fill, not as a bonding agent. A+B would work as a bond but not as good as Araldite.

@garymullins4815 Год назад

Where in the States can I purchase the Golden Porcelain Restoration Glaze? I have searched and found the only locations are over the pond. thank you so much. I LOVE you videos.

@marsgitar Год назад

Golden has discontinued this product. The last time I ordered it I had to contact Golden at their corporate email. They said they don't make it anymore and sold me one of their last bottles of it, saying that if I wanted more they'd make it for me but I'd have to by a gallon of it. That'd be expensive. But since their 8 oz. bottle of it will last me the rest of my career, I'm probably good for a while. I'm sorry to say, I don't have an alternative to suggest for this product.

@heidim6468 8 месяцев назад

Can I ask you what air brush you use. Because when you go to your link they have you do a quiz to see what is right for you. I don’t know that so could you tell me what your using?

@marsgitar 8 месяцев назад

I have several airbrushes but the one I use the most is the one you see in my videos. It is an Iwata HP-CH model.

@Big-ib3kx 4 года назад

You are awesome!! What exactly is a hot box?

@marsgitar 4 года назад

My hotbox is an old freezer, stripped down to just an insulated box with a door. Inside it there was installed a heating element from an electric oven. A thermocouple and a switch box with a temperature dial was added. There's also a small electric fan inside to circulate and even the heat distribution. There are shelves which I can adjust and add/remove as needed. I just set the dial for the temperature I want, usually about 150 F., and turn it on. The thermostat turns the heat on and off to maintain the set temperature. I use it mostly to preheat objects that are going to have HXTL applied to them, and also to speed curing of the HXTL already applied. Some epoxy gets stronger and/or cures faster when heated slightly. Occasionally, I'll use it to dry something out.

@Big-ib3kx 4 года назад

Can I use my oven ?

@marsgitar 4 года назад

@@Big-ib3kx The oven might work, if the temp goes low enough. You don't want to go much higher than about 150F.

love your repairs was wondering what kind of glue you used for the lady figurine hysol ?? what do you buy? or what do you recommend for a person who wants to repair a break in a figurine at home. A simple break kind of like the lady figurine you are repairing in the white porcelain figurine with 4 breaks. Thanks :)

@marsgitar 3 года назад

Hxtal is a bit hard to work with. For non-porous ceramics, you could try Elmer's brand adhesive called "china and glass cement. For porous ceramics Elmer's white glue works fine. Good luck to you.

How do you make liquid paint? + water ? or something alse

@marsgitar 5 лет назад

I use Goldens brand acrylic paints. Their airbrush paints are ready to use right out of the bottle. If I need to use their thicker paints, I dilute them with Goldens Airbrush Medium for use in the airbrush.

@mreightytwenty8709 5 лет назад

Hi Martin any other question please. I see you use Golden Porcelain matte glaze in this video to matte the surface down. Can i use this product but with the gloss to finish off if i need it to finished in gloss. The reason is i haven't been able to fine the other gloss you use.....here in Australia.I hope this makes sense....lol

@marsgitar 5 лет назад

It is my understanding that the "porcelain restoration glaze" shown in this video (and its gloss version) are meant to be a finishing coating in ceramic restorations. Check out Goldens web site for more info on their products. They will tell you more than I can remember. Lots of good info there. Have you tried contacting Sylmasta about an Australian distributor, or shipping to Australia?

@robbrien8506 3 года назад

How long do you let the miliput dry? Is it air dried?

@marsgitar 3 года назад

Yes, air dried, overnight. Dries (cures) in about 4 hrs., but I let it go overnight for a little more hardness.

@robbrien8506 3 года назад

@@marsgitar Thanks. Your attention to detail and time spent on your craft is a beautiful thing.

@elsefernandes9790 Год назад

How much do you charge ?

@marsgitar Год назад

Cost is determined by how much work it is to repair it. Repair cost is based on the size of the object, how many broken pieces there are, how many missing pieces there are, how complicated t he design that must be replaced, how many colors must be replaced. Basically, cost is based on how hard it is to repair. It is not inexpensive.

@julissagonzalez3040 4 года назад

What is it that you use to glue the pieces back together??

@marsgitar 4 года назад

It's a high tech epoxy made for glass repair. It's called HXTAL. sometime listed as Hxtal NYL-1 epoxy. Look it up on the web for a good price on a 60 gram kit. Not easy to work with. Takes days to cure.
