hi everyone about a month ago a very nice person on this forum gave me a old spice shave mug that i have wanted for a long time, Today i go to shave and as always i run the hot water then fill the mug to soak my brush in. Except this time the the whole bottom cracked and fell out in one piece. now my favorite mug is broken. had anything like this happened to anyone else.

Hey,
My first question is, did the bottom of the mug have any webbing on the bottom that you might have noticed? Its technically considered "crazing," and would lead to the bottom of your mug dropping out due to structure instability. The structure gives way from the stress of hot water causing the mug to expand.
This has happened to me before with heavily used tea mugs.
Also how cold was the mug before you put the water into it?

Sounds like a job for Gorilla Glue.

no there was no crazing, and the mug was room temp,just sitting on the bathroom counter, also if anyone had any good leads to a decent price replacement let me know

How disappointing. I have a few old spice mugs and would hate it if this started happening to me
