Ceramic Cement - Extremely Strong Bond


The Duco Cement is the strongest thing that I've found for cementing ceramic together.  Excess on the surface of the item can be removed with paper towel moistened with acetone (fingernail polish remover).

Dovo Glossy Black Embroidery Scissors SN10A


The SN-10A  in Glossy Black Teflon finish are the sharpest scissors that I have ever found and the only ones that I have found to be successful in cutting hardanger or other cutwork.  These are German and made of the finest hot forged special steel under rigid control.  They were $54 in January 2013.  Destahl Dovo Soligen are available from the Silver Needle in Tulsa:
