Does this look fixable?

This is the first bong I bought long ago. I kept it around because the break was very minor and I figured I could get it fixed, or at least put a grommet on it.
I forgot about it and put it on the back burner for some years, but now I want to restore "the champ" back to its former glory.

Anyone know if it's possible to fix a break right on the joint like this?
Any suggestions on how to ghetto fix this if a glass blower can't fix this?

Its always risky. Those cracks that are there that you can *see* will always re-melt just fine. If the crack is stressed and wants to continue past where it is already cracked when introduced into the flame again, then kaPOWie! boom boom bye bong!

As long as you know that despite what anyone says you've got a 50/50 shot of getting it fixed, then go for it

Have had that spot broken as well... dumbass ex girlfriend stepped on it. I hot glued it back in, then duck taped the shit out of it. Worked for awhile but ended up throwin it out.
