glue to repair clay wine cooler (wine brique)

Hello -- I have a porous clay pot which is used to keep a bottle of wine cool, once the pot is soaked in water for a while. It looks like the same material as the Romertopf clay pot cooker. It needs gluing back together. Can readers recommend the correct glue for this purpose? Thanks for any help. Larry Mehl Look for "Gorilla Glue." I think it would probably work. A testimonial on their site claims to have had success repairing clay pots: http://www.gorillaglue.com/testimonials/ My mother's house was held together with Gorilla Glue. :-) Liz |

Thanks to all.
I will look into epoxy and gorilla glue. Color matching is not too important. Larry "L Mehl" wrote in message thlink.net...

Over time, I would expect the gorilla glue to hydolyze(break down
chemically with water) and fail. Also, it foams, which may cause leakage in your application. Better to use an epoxy, JB Weld or Marine Seal, but there are many other good ones.-Jitney |
