You may be able to join them with this combination: equal parts clay, vinegar & karo syrup. I got this suggestion years ago on a clay listserv & have used it successfully at times. You may end up with a crack where the seam is, but then if it's glazed and doesn't get a lot of stress, will probably be ok.

  Jackie,

  Vinegar Slip is good for leather hard clay pieces or pieces that still have some moisture in them. As for bone dry pieces I don't think it will work or I should say that I haven't had any luck doing that.

  Blessings,

    I have two air dried pieces of clay that I need to attach to the
    origial piece - pre bisque stage. These pieces fell off. Can I
    use vinegar to do this? Or any other suggestions.
