A question to all the glass blowers.

Last night I purchased a gorgeous bubbler from the local head shop. After a few uses the base of the bowl caved in... the shop has a no return policy, can this be fixed by a skilled blower or did I just loose a wad of cash?

Caved in?

It might be salvageable by a good glass blower, depends on the break, and the skill of the guy fixing it.

to rephrase:

the bowlpack base must have gotten too hot and basically broke off into the chamber taking the male piece with it. It's gonna be fucking tricky if one can repair this, if not I hope the glass can be reused.

i only packed it up 2-3 times, with time in between. The shop just sold me a faulty piece of shit with a nice markup and a no-return policy.

...better luck next time i hope... goddamnit.
