How to Mend a Paper Cup

This instructable will go through the steps needed to repair a broken paper cup.

You will need:

- Gorilla glue or another food safe adhesive

- Gold pigment

- Q-tip

- scrap paper for mixing

- clip ( foldback clips work great )

- a broken paper cup

Step 1: Apply Adhesive

Using the Q-tip, collect a good amount of the glue and pigment mixture and lay a smooth layer in between the broken pieces. Once the adhesive is spread, use your fingers to press the broken pieces together and smooth out any air pockets or lumps. Next, place the foldback clip on the broken seam to pinch the 2 parts in place. The glue dries quickly, so work quickly!

Step 2: Use

Once the glue has dried (the suggested time is 24hrs ), your broken cup will be fixed and ready for use once again!
