Kind of OT: gluing ceramics

No glue expert here, as this post will show, but:
I wish to heck I knew how to make CA work. I have never been able to glue anything together with super glue except my fingers.
The only glue that I can find that is worth a darn is epoxy. I would consider using a clear epoxy.
Superglue has no sheer strength which is why it probably broke off so cleanly and easily.

You have inadvertently discovered a positive aspect of "super glue". It has very little "sheer strength". That makes it ideal for gluing delicate parts on models; since if there is going to be potential breakage, you hopefully will be lucky, and have the breakage on the bond, instead of the part.
For your spoon holder, try a good epoxy.
I'd suggest getting some Borden's Carpenter's Glue. It's yellow and thicker than Elmer's and boy, does it hold. I've glued wood to resin with that stuff and it won't come apart.

AFAIK there's no such thing as the former.
There isn't, epoxies by definition are two or more parts and cure by catalytic reaction.

Kevin,
Thanks, I'll look for it at the hardware store the next time I'm there.
