if it didn’t harden enough.... doesn’t it just stand to reason that it needed more time for the for all the water to evaporate? You wouldn’t take up painting and touch an obviously wet canvas and then complain that it made a mess, right? If the milk “looked like toothpaste” then let it keep drying. You don’t know how hard it will get unless you have patience to let it dry? Don’t follow directions exactly. Follow intuition, and common sense. glue is a pretty recent invention. The invention of ceramic vessels, and domesticating animals for milk are both thousands of years older than glue, and are among the most important innovations in all of human history. Also they kind of go hand in hand. It makes sense that milk might have been discovered by our ancestors as primitive “glue,” because they largely used ceramics to transport and collect milk. So I’d say, don’t be so dismissive just because it didn’t work on your first attempt. Do you have any experience working with ceramics. There are no hard and fast rules (like 3 days..) It’s fucking frustrating. There are factors like heat, humidity, glazes, thickness/ density of clay etc.
I asked a friend who majored in ceramics about this (full disclosure: I don’t know if she’s actually tried it and I haven’t tried it either.) i have some broken teacups and I’ve been thinking about it. But she said it’s essential that it’s boiled, and that you seal it during the process. She was of the impression that it works best for China and it’s best for hairline cracks when they’re leaking. I guess it’s still worth experimenting if some people have found success with it. Maybe if it didn’t work, you should try leaving it longer, or try giving it another coat. I mean... if it didn’t harden enough.... doesn’t it just stand to reason that it needed more time for the for all the water to evaporate? I’m going to give it a try with porcelain, and if it doesn’t work.,. Epoxy. Maybe milk on top of epoxy, to fill in the gaps?

My dad worked @ Ford (world headquarters) the old timers in r&d taught him to use 2 cans of evaporative milk in the radiator as stop leak. My family has successfully used their secret for 5 decades...I've even sealed some pretty large holes in radiators with multiple applications..
I'm sorry to tell you that you're wrong. It does work. This process worked perfectly well for me. I don't know how you did your process but here's what I did. First the milk was properly boiled as instructed. I used whole milk and if you followed the directions and it didn't work for you, what kind of milk did you use? I suspect the whole milk, because of the cream content, has more calcium in it and using 2% or skim with little to no cream would probably have less calcium and maybe less of the glue-like substance that comes naturally from this process. As an aside, people should drink whole milk. It is NOT the fat producing thing people think it is and I"m sure a lot of people have 2% or skim milk in their refrigerators, as I used to but that's another conversation. This is not the only site to suggest this naturally occurring glue process. My cup was leaking from a crack that went all the way down the side and halfway across the bottom. It doesn't leak anymore. Besides leaving it sit for four days, it was also undisturbed, like you would do with anything you're trying to glue until the glue sets.
After 3 days the milk looked like toothpaste, a disgusting pasta and the bowl was still broken....so, this does not work.

Thanks for your ted talk
Boiled milk is basically natural PVC
You are better off using DAP clear bond which is non toxic for filling hair line cracks and leaks
Milk? Really? All due respect but that sounds dumb. Milk isn't a glue.
