USING MARX MENDER

 

High Fire Mender is designed to be mixed with slip or clayas desired.  Clean off excess High-Fire Mender before firing.  Fire at the temperature recommended for the slip or clay that was mixed with the Hi-Fire Mender.  Make sure that the mender is completely dry before firing.  Hi-Fire Mender must be fired to become permanent.

MANY USES

Repairs - Add ons - Attaching flowers, ribbons, etc. Repairs broken pieces - Fixes hairline cracks - Attach greenware to greenware - Attach greenware to bisque - Removes hard spots 

INSTRUCTIONS for using High- Fire Mender:
  • 1. Do not wet the piece to be mended.
  • 2. Fill the jar with any high-fire sip or clay. MIX COMPLETELY. Note: It is important to only mix one color and type of slip. Yield is 2 ounces once the desired slip is added.
  • 3.Apply mender to both sides with a soft brush. Do not over apply. Press the pieces together when mender beads out of the sides you have full coverage. Hold the pieces together (a minute or two) until they remain joined.
  • 4. If greenware: Remove excess immediately. Clean when semi- dry with a scrubber.
  • 5. If bisque: Let mender dry completely, then clean it as you would clean greenware.
  • 6. Fire the piece when mender is completely dry. You may apply color before firing. Fire the piece to the same temperature as the slip or clay you mixed with the mender.

HELPFUL HINTS: While the mender is still moist the joint will be fairly delicate, so be careful when cleaning the piece. These Menders MUST be fired to become permanent. Keep jars tightly closed. These menders have a long shelf life and will not spoil.

After firing, the repaired area is stronger than the rest of the piece. If you clean well before firing you'll never know the break was there. 

 
How to fix:

HARD SPOTS: Apply a thin smooth coat of mender over the area.
BROKEN STILTS: Apply the mender and fire.
HAIRLINE CRACKS: Dip brush in the mender and in some water so you have a flowing consistency. Allow the mender to flow into the crack, let dry. If you need a second application do so, then clean the piece, paint and fire.

It works!
Fixed a couple of items successfully. I was concerned it would only be useable once, but the consistency is good and there’s plenty left to fix something else.

Does this product have a shelf life?
Ian from United Kingdom
Provided it is kept air tight it will have a shelf life of around 3 years, hope this helps.

I want to use this as ‘a putty’, as suggested to fill more than a hairline crack. I’ll need to add the clay to the Mender, but should the clay be wet or dry powder, and if wet then how wet? Also, as the ‘high fir’ version is this suitable for mid-range stoneware at cone 6?
Nick from United Kingdom
Just add clay to the jar straight from the bag, yes if you mix with the stoneware clay this will work.
Scarva Team
I want to put a leg back on a small pot it hasn't been bisque fired yet do I use marx mender before 1st firing?
Nick from United Kingdom
Yes you can use it before bisque firing or after. Hope this helps.
Scarva Team
Can you use this on a sculpture which has already been glaze fired but a piece has broken off, for example can you stick the piece back on let it dry then reglaze over that section then re-fire? Will it hold?
Leah from United Kingdom
Hi, this won't work for something that has aleady been glaze fired. To fix a glaze fired pice you would need to use a two part expoxy. Hope this helps!
Scarva Team
Can I apply this product to a hairline crack in a bisque fired piece then apply glaze over the whole piece and glaze fire it? It would be glaze fired to cone 9.
Ellen from United Kingdom
Hi, yes you could - it would certainly help hide it.
Scarva Team
Can you apply oxides/glazes on top of the small crack you have mended in an otherwise bisque piece and fire straight to glaze temperatures, or would you need to repeat the bisque firing? Thanks.
Freya from United Kingdom
Hi, you would be better bisque firing again first. Hope this helps
