Leaking birdbath

Hi guys

my wife bought me a lovely large birdbath for Christmas but sadly is very prous and I am losing water rapidly. Have tried spraying with a pot sealer with some limited success - will try another coat - if that fails do any of you have alternative suggestions?

happy birding

thanks Brian

On re-reading my typing - it is the pot that is very porous not me!!

I have a hairline crack in my terracotta birdbath. It doesn't leak, but may crack open at any time.

Can I use bondcrete to prevent cracking, do you think?

Hi Booshkie

I would suggest that it is worth trying. I got away with my second coat of pot sealer so have not had to try the bondcrete yet. Good luck

just be carefull with using adhesives that they dont seep into the water and contaminate it. Make sure it is really dry before you ad any water.
