Broken Tokoname Kyusu :(

by Narcissa » Apr 11th, '09, 17:16

While washing my Kyusu out, I went to put it down and part of the spout broke off. The break wasn't super clean, but i can fit it it back in.

What kind of glue should i use? I'm concerned about the glue leeching into my tea when i pour :(

I would recommend using epoxy. I broke the lid of my yixing and used this to put it back on and that has to deal with constant boiling water. Since your teapot goes to at most 180 degrees I dont think you'll have a problem with it heating up thus decreasing the risk of leeching.

Superglue. if they use that stuff on surgery patients' body, I'm sure it's pretty safe for you to drink.
