Yea that’s a good idea brah. Make sure it’s FDA approved. You don’t wanna bong rip chemicals. Or maybe you do! Fuck it! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Its pricey, but this is the stuff I used to bond glassware in the lab..... DAMMIT --- won't let me post an amazon link..... search AA-BOND F113 on amazon..... Good stuff --- be sure to clean WELL with acetone or hi% alcohol. Its really thin, so watch out.... Perfectly safe once cured....
Personally I would only consider having a glass blower fix it or some kind of fix that doesn't involve anything with chemicals and stuff like that. But it's your decision.
yeah i decided i dont want to use glue but i still need to find something safe to use to fix it its such a small leak though its pissing me off
Without using glue(epoxy) you only have the option of a glass blower. Anything else you try will not work, because well its glass and water..... Sent from my SM-N960U using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Definitely dont put glue where you smoke, smoke local glass blowers fix pieces by putting them in a kiln so it mends back together. Might want ti tey that
A friend had the same issue.. not this bong tho he found happy-ness at an auto shop.. that repairs windscreens and cracks ..lol good luck
Thats a great idea --- those guys have some kick ass glass UV cure epoxies and the equipment to cure it properly. Gonna keep that one in mind.
I would be hesitant to use any kind of glue/epoxy on something you smoke from. See if there is a glass blower in your area. It would likely be an inexpensive fix. Alternatively, if you cannot seem to find a glassblower, you might be able to find a local community college or art school that has a glassblowing class. If you reach out to them they will give you the name of the person that teaches. A student will do it for super cheap.
Throw it away. Epoxy or glass blower is your only 2 options. There is nothing else that will work. There is no magical option that fixes it without chemicals or having a glass blower fix it. Sent from my SM-N960U using Grasscity Forum mobile app

Two words FLEX TAPE hahaha no I would just take it to a glass blower and see if they can put a little chunk of glass in there to seal it up. Or just melt it back together but would be thinner in that area then the rest. Talk to local headshop an see if they got any custom glass blowers that make glass for them. Alot of them do.
805 glass and Fishbone used to be renowned at glass repair. It might be overkill for you, but here are some examples: Gallery Mothership Glass Faberge Egg Opal Alteration Was going to send him my broken Peyote Pillar but it got confiscated before that Can't remember if it was to fishbone or 805
