I got a Swiss perc bubbler and my girlfriend accidentally dropped it and all that broke was the mouth piece. I think if I can sand it down the piece can be saved. Regular sand paper or any better suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
C can't just put this baby to rest. I'll try it and let you guys know. May post pic after braking later to show you guys how bad Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
It really depends on the chip. Glass can be brittle so avoid aggressive files, or overly coarse sandpaper. Typically you would start with a coarse and work up to a fine grit sandpaper. This will allow you to control the amount of material removed. You will probably want to wet sand to avoid swirl marks. If you have a dremel and a carbide tip you could potentially do the hard work with it.
I may try cutting the glass just below the mouth piece using the string on fire method with a bowl of cold water. Opinions?

I bought some sand paper and sanded down the edges honestly the break isn't even noticable anymore so I don't even care thanks for the responses
Well, the rest of the mouthpiece will break. Maybe not right now, but you have lost all structure there. And how do you seal around that with your mouth? Slackjawed? Thanks for heeding advice asked for. Any decent LHS will put you in touch with a glassblower
well if it breaks I'll sand that too unless it's actually broken. Honestly the piece hits like new it's just turned to the side now instead of straight ahead and I'm pretty sure a glass blower would cost more than my current budget lol
