**mending glass?** Posted: 5/9/2008 10:12:04 PM

hi.

I have a question. can a piece of glass that has been broken be mended under the fire? i have a nice intricite glass design that has been broken. not too too bad but bad nonetheless. can it be fixed somehow under the flame? I will pay more than i paid for the original piece cuz it means that much to me. please advice.

A few variables go into your question.

what type of glass is it made of? How big is it? how clean is the break?

It might be fixable, and it might not be depending on the answers to those questions...

aloha!

my i glass is a design with a name spelled in cursive letters. the breaks are pretty clean, and not shattered completely. i tryed supergluing it but some inside paint trickled down. some pieces of figurines are small, such as that of a wing of a butterfly and bird but they are clean breaks. thank you. i think it is fixable it is just finding a glass blower in tucson that is the issue. stupid temper tantrums. wife got pissed and broke my gift for her.
