Req 6g — Mending China, Glass, or Pottery
6g.
Mend an object made of china, glass, or pottery.
Fragile repairs demand a different attitude from construction projects. Force does not help. Speed does not help. You succeed by handling pieces gently, understanding how they fit, and giving adhesives the time they need.

What This Requirement Teaches
- Align pieces before applying adhesive
- Work on a protected surface where pieces cannot roll or slide
- Keep track of all fragments so the repair stays complete
- Let the repair cure fully before testing it
This project echoes Req 2f — Replacing a Window Pane in one important way: fragile materials punish rushing.
