    Default WTB Lid for MWF Bowl

    Like a klutz I dropped the lid to my MWF bowl. So if anyone has a broken bowl but still has the lid that they would like to sell I am interested.

    Best of luck finding your new lid, Tony!
    One word of caution, some members have reported minute size differences between MWF bowls, even insinuating they could be hand made.
    Because of those subtle differences, it's very likely your new lid may not fit on your existing bowl. Check out this post for an example.
    Good luck!

    if all pieces are large (no small shards) i would suggest gorilla glue. it is a wonderful glue, expands and will fill in the missing small pieces. might not look at pretty as new, but the cracks will add some character, dries in beige (same as the lid) and the glue will hold FOREVER and is available in your area: GORILLA

    I did the same thing. I glued it back together and it's still going :) Luckily, mine only broke into three pieces, though. Good luck finding a lid!

    I would also first try a DIY repair. Crazy glue applied to both surfaces very sparingly and then pressed together. Gorilla glue needs clamping and in this case it might be difficult. The expansion of the urethane type glue indeed fills the gaps but excess will look pretty ugly and I'm not sure if trimming it off is possible w/o damaging the writing on the top side.
