Pottery glue?
JEB:
I was given a Casas bowl that has been broken into around 10 pieces, most of which are on the larger size. This is a nice looking bowl with good colors.
What glue should I use to glue the bowl back together? I had thoughts of white Elmers glue but it was suggested that I use a rubber type glue for it's flexibility . Your thoughts or uses would be appreciated.
Zuma:
I'd like to help but I don't know what a Casas bowl is.
Artifacts are done one way and recent ware aother.

I have messaged Jeb and sorta warned him about irreversible glues.
There good for a bowl you may put back in service but will give you
problems if the alignment isn't perfect for the last few pieces.
Elmer's is soluble and can be manipulated with soaking with water.
Just my two. :D

JEB:
Thanks for everyone's ideas. I appreciate them and think I will try the Elmer's glue. The bowl was a gift from a guy that took up knapping and I sent him some rock to get started with. His cat knocked the complete 200 year old bowl over and broke it.
