My wife loves this free pot she found, but it had been broken and repaired previously, poorly. There was a piece missing. Probably why it was free. She asked what I could do, so i did what I could. I used that drywall tape, with some drywall mud, followed by some epoxy with some mica powder and acrylic paint mixed in, with some additional tinted mica powder sprinkled on. I did not match the color perfectly, but that's ok. Close enough? I failed to take a true before picture.

 who cares how the repair looks -- any droopy plant will cover it right up & planter is now fully functional
BEAUTIFUL WORK convincing wife that extraneous rod-building crap is good for the house!!!  ;) ;) ;)

Finished product came out pretty well. The one that went in that opening went in kinda rough so if it doesn't immediately thrive you know whose fault it is. 8)

2 years later. It's grown a bit. I decided to make a mini version for my office. I'm pretty happy with it.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.
