'Fixing' Broken Glass

[ioright]

Hello all,

So a tragic accident happened to my beloved Vodka Glass bong. I will post pictures if anyone really needs, but I think my description will suffice.

It was a standard shaped beaker style bong, with a protruding 18mm female adapter near the bottom. Fitted into the adapted is a standard six slit downstem (nothing overly fancy). Unfortunately, the bong was knocked over onto the female adapter and it cracked off of the bong itself, causing a somewhat jagged break.

I have 'repaired' the two pieces using the following product:

The packaging claims that everything is drinking water safe, and it appears to have solidified quite well, effectively fixing my bong.

What are your thoughts? Safe? Unsafe? Anyone have any other suggestions for repair?

Maybe this would be a possibility? http://glassblowersdirect.com/repairs

I have no suggestions about any glues or cements. My advice is the same as Purpl3's, when I broke my mini bubbler I called my favorite LHS and asked if they had someone who did repairs. They did and after a week or so I had a repaired bubble that is just as good as new. It costa lot less then a new quality bubbler. /shrug

my LHS repaired a friend's fancy expensive scientific glass for fifty bucks. if i didn't know it had been broken, i wouldn't believe.
