BWW Project #47: Repair Blue Garden Pot
There was a plethora of garden decorative objects left by the previous owner which pleased Cathy greatly. Many of them have been thrown out or spun off to friends and relatives, but I now have a stone buddha and Cathy a great array of things. One of these was a giant blue planting pot which she says might cost up to $200 at a garden store. It sat along the back line and we did cover it with a bag when we left last fall for Florida.
However, it rolled over or something and stress cracks from water previously frozen in the bottom (I think) popped and a big chunk broke out, with some remaining cracks visible around the area.
We got some epoxy which came in two tubes that simultaneously empty out together when a plunger is pushed. Then you vigorously mix it with a small stick provided, and have a few minutes to coat the pieces and get them set together before it sets up.
We did this one together and used half the supply on the initial piece and the other half on the cracks. It is supposed to dry clear and cure in 24 hours.
It looked pretty good when we got done,.
