how to repair a plate
step 1: break the plate

Do you sand it or anything once dried? And if so how do you do it without leaving scuff marks on your project?

What is the ratio of the epoxy to the prisma powder? How thick should the coating of it be to push out of the mended cracks?

This is beautiful- would love to know what kind of prisma powder to use and how much.

I don’t think that you’re meant to break something yourself to repair. I think that would possibly bring bad karma.

This is super irresponsible. Gorilla brand epoxy glue is NOT meant for anything that will in come into contact with food. And you're doing this on a dinner plate. You want people to poison themselves? SMDH. Take this video down.
