Yes, you read the title correctly ![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm involved with a local Men's Shed and we have had a large pottery vase donated. It's quite soft=ish pot and \I think it's called unglazed earthen ware. It is covered in what is almost certainly banana leaves and the general idea is to turn it into a lamp. The sisal decoration on it isn't totally stable and I'm not sure about the stability of the banana leaves either.
m|y thought is to make up a 50/50 mix of Titebond3 adhesive and paint it with the mix, maybe not as strong as 50/50? It will soak through both the leaves and earthen ware and should stabilise the lot.
The biggest problem is that it's going into the Christmas Fayre next Sunday, 26th, and as I am away from Tuesday till Saturday it doesn't leave me much time to get it done. So any ideas would be appreciated please took flamin sweet, as the French say![Oops! :oops: :oops:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
