$450 bong broke, looking for advice and pricing to fix it?
A glass bumped the bottom of my bong and it broke, im not willing to give up on it though :c
So i was wondering if this is fixable? And if it is, about how much would i be looking at price-wise?
The bottom of the bong has really thin glass, the rest of it is super thick though. Would it be possible to wrap a thick sheet of glass around the entire base to make it thicker? Sorry if that sounds rediculous, i know nothing about glasswork.

I've seen joint and neck repairs. Thats an iffy spot, but I'm no pro.
Do you still have the piece of glass that was broken off of the bong?
Yeah, i do.Originally Posted by Sparkoza

That is an impossible repair. It is impossible because of the variance in wall thickness, location of the break, and type of break it is.
In order for that to be repaired, you need to find a lathe shop that can re-anneal the piece, chuck it up on the lathe, re-work the entire bottom, and then re-anneal it in the kiln to get it back to you.
Is that really a $450 tube? Replacement time!

ELECTRICAL TAPE!!! Fuck duct. Electrical is the way to go. You can even get some green or blue or yellow or whatever you want to match your bong. Wrap it nice and thick so that it helps protect the weakened area.

It most likely is impossible as stated above, you can try EPOXY I have used this stuff on glass before but that is one hell of hard spot to fix.
I think I would try to patch til I can get something that isn't that expensive...I mean if I pay that much for something it should be bulletproof...and last forever...
I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!
