How to fix a cracked coffee mug: Even chips can be remedied

Chips in mugs are a pretty common occurrence, but that doesn’t mean they have to land in the trash. Learn how to fix a chipped mug so you don’t have to break up your collection.

  1. Select the right glue. You'll also need mild dish soap and water, gloves so you don't cut yourself on the chip, and an old clean rag or paper towel.
  2. Ensure that you start with a clean, dry mug.
  3. Apply the glue. Use a small amount on the piece that chipped off the mug, and another on the mug itself. If you don’t have all the chipped pieces on hand, it may be necessary to build up the area with a little extra Glue. You can then file away any excess glue after it dries.
  4. Allow the mug to dry for the time specified in the directions.

Remember to choose a glue that is dishwasher safe which will ensure a long-lasting hold!
