Hummel Boy Lamp Repair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2022
- Watch as I repair a Hummel lamp. One of a pair brought to my studio. In this episode I show the dismantle/hardware removal, dismantle previous repair. Also cleaning/old paint removal. Then I show the bonding, filling of cracks and voids, followed by repainting and finishing. I show a few tips and helpful hints along the way.
Thanks, as always to my wife Ellen for her help with the camera work.

These lamps were mine, and they were so damaged I almost threw them away. I am so glad I didn’t. Martin works miracles!
Thank you for posting. I find your content very interesting.
An amazing restoration/repair. Thank you, I'm learning so much from your videos.
Thank you. I'm glad you find my videos helpful.
Astonishing job, Martin!!
Thanks, Dorene!
Very nice! I've just started to airbrush some of my restorations... works great when you get it right. :)
Curious as to why you chose this glue for this project. Okay, I haven't looked through all the video list to see, I admit it, but have you done something explaining which glue you use for which type of repair and why?
In the most basic of terms, as I've mentioned in some of my other videos: I use white glue (Elmer's) for porous material, and I use Hxtal or other epoxies for non-porous materials.
Did you take pictures on where the tiny pieces go? It could be hard to remember where they came from, yes?
No, not that difficult in this case. There weren't too many small pieces.
Though, even when there are a lot of pieces - they only fit back where they belong, won't fit where they don't.
Hi Martin, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wanted to ask you if steel wool was safe to use on removing dried Milliput. Thank you.
I would say, "No".
You really just use Elmer's white glue? We just had an accident in the house and a very old Hummel was broken. We'd like to repair it and I've been researching what type of glue to use. If the break is the head (it's a large Hummel, not one of the smaller ones), would Elmer's glue be sufficient? I had assumed I'd need to use some sort of super glue.
Yes, Elmer's white glue will work well. It is very strong on porous ceramics. Hummels are porous ceramics. Do NOT use super glue!
@@marsgitar Thank you for such a quick response! I will certainly give it a try with white glue. Hopefully this will work!
Hello Martin,really sorry for stupid question,what's mean cold glaze, can I send it,I tried to Google it cold glaze and its giving me 0 results,thank you,with respect Raymond
It's called "Cold Glaze Pro II" made by a company called Sylmasta. It is a catalyst based acrylic clear coating made for making a very hard non-yellowing protective coating on glazed ceramics. It's very expensive. It comes from England but there is a U.S. distributor, if you're in the US. You can look it up on the web
Thank you Martin,I still have problems with porcelain figure,when you work it's looks so easy,but for me it's very hard job,thank you for your answer.
Just curious Martin but how much does 409 cost in the US? In the UK it costs £52 for 32 ounces.
Wow! That's expensive. I get a one-gallon refill bottle and dispense from that. I think it was about 15 dollars.
As an alternative, you could try a diluted version of a degreasing dish washing detergent in a spray bottle. Worth a try.
Wow indeed. I guess it’s because it’s made in the United States. But like everything else you can buy anything provided you’re willing to pay a lot for it. From this tutorial I found out why I’m finding it almost impossible to get Golden Porcelain Restoration Glaze. They’ve stopped making it. I can, however, purchase it if I pay £98.99 for 236 ml. My question to you is, do you think it’s worth that sort of money?
Will try the degreasing dishwasher detergent idea thanks.
@@cliffordknowles1296 No, I don't think it's worth the price of it now. I got one of the last bottles left. That bottle I showed in the video will last me 10 years, if I'm careful. Otherwise, as an alternative, one could easily add a matting agent to the glossy cold glaze for the same effect. Or even some other matte finish clear coat would work. Water-based or solvent-based, either will work.
Thanks once again for the advice. I wasn’t sure if you thought there was anything similar to the Golden Porcelain Restoration Glaze. I have already bought some cold glazes so I’m now happy to go ahead and use those.
