<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10429908, member: 79705&quot;]To answer some questions...</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever you&#039;re going to attempt a restoration, try searching with keywords like &quot;conservation,&quot; &quot;archival,&quot; and &quot;restoration&quot; to find sites that specialize in materials for museums and archivists.</p><p><br /></p><p>For this, Milliput is probably a start point. Specifically their <a href="https://www.milliput.com/white.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.milliput.com/white.html" rel="nofollow">superfine grade</a> meant for pottery restoration. It&#039;s a non-shrinking two-part permanent epoxy. Here&#039;s a break down of it being used for <a href="https://www.milliput.com/case/16/Restoring+a+Lute+Player.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.milliput.com/case/16/Restoring+a+Lute+Player.html" rel="nofollow">a figure restoration</a> and here&#039;s the detailed manufacturer <a href="https://www.milliput.com/howto.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.milliput.com/howto.html" rel="nofollow">advice and instructions</a>, including how to get certain finishes and how to paint it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This type of filler you can smooth really well with wet fingers. (I wear gloves with epoxies cause some of them are stanky!) If you need to sand just the epoxy area, then try masking the surrounding area with a low tack tape and just gently, and slowly, sand. Definitely try to remove all overages before it completely hardens (takes a few hours).</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I think this is best used on pieces like figures where a loss is a bit of an eyesore, or items that are more damaged. I don&#039;t think your chips warrant a fix on this adorable bowl. I love the joyful colors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
