This guide is intended to show users how to repair broken glassware using non-toxic, food-safe resin to maintain its food-safe functionality. The object used in this guide is a glass tea infuser, but this tutorial is versatile and can be used with other glassware.
It's important to work in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing the resin fumes. It is essential to use resin marked as food-grade. Use caution when handling materials such as resin, glass shards, craft blades, and hot water.
