Newbie here...
So, the in-game handbook does not explain how to make powdered charcoal which is needed to make glue, so I thought the only way was to get a lucky drop from a vase or something... days later, I learned about the quern (what the hell is a "quern"?). Ok, fast forward... I made my first quern. Awesome! I made some powdered charcoal... got a pot cooking... making 4 glues... Aaaannddd I can't get it out... no explanation as to why. So I thought. Oh well the pot is unusable because the glue is inside, so i removed the pot thinking the glue was in it. Nope. Gone.
This game kind of infuriates me sometimes.
