Very nice video. Just a little note, by holding a spoon handle across the top of a glass (or bowl or pot), and pouring down the handle (the side away from the spoon), you can also get a neat pour. It's not foolproof, but often works in a pinch.

[@electronicsNmore]

Good idea!

[@edyue1]

Brilliant. Thanks for the comprehensive video I will try this on a few pieces of chipped bowls and glassware. I need to go to Harbor Freight and get a cheap torch. :)

[@electronicsNmore]

Practice using dollar store glassware. :-)

[@andrewstrom3785]

I'm going to try this on a chip! Turn it into a spout!

[@electronicsNmore]

I would practice on a dollar store glass first

[@JoeKrol]

Will this work with leaded crystal?

[@Granite]

You are my favorite youtube alchemist.

[@electronicsNmore]

🤣

[@Granite]

@@electronicsNmore I was able to render the courage to bend an expensive "piece" thanks to you. Glass manipulation is very fun.

[@TheLandlordPicker]

Wow great video thanks. Adding this one to my research. I have a bunch of depression glass with chips that I’m looking to mess around with.

[@electronicsNmore]

Practice first using dollar store glasses. Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists for other great videos of interest to you and share. Thanks!

[@TheLandlordPicker]

electronicsNmore yes thats good advice thank you. Ill also add that I’ve inherited a workshop full of wheels, grinders, sanders and misc. items from a person who repaired elegant glass. I am interested in taking on some of his projects that were piled up in his basement. His wife also fired ceramics as well so have her kiln as well. Like i said your video is 1 of many that I’m using to become familiar with repairs and such. Thanks again....ill keep watching👍👍👍

[@vassiliotzor]

Great video thank you! Can you upload a video on how tor repair a crack in a common piece off glass with the torch method?

[@electronicsNmore]

You're welcome! You can't repair a crack in glass, once heated, the crack will continue to extend. Thanks for watching!

[@vassiliotzor]

@@electronicsNmore I know for a fact cracks on laboratory glassware can be repaired. I guess this is not the case for common glass. A video on how to repair cracked Borosilicate glass would be a nice addition to your awesome videos!!

Hi EnM, Doug, Still watching, still a happy sub. Always excellent tutorials and demonstrations. Your information is always sound and you are a great resource for the DIY kinda guy or gal. Thankyou for the time and effort you put in making your most excellent videos, very much appreciated. Peace & Happiness from Oregon, C.

Cass Virgillo Glad you enjoy my videos!

[@iolawellred5895]

electronicsNmore Can you cut a glass down to a shorter glass?

[@mickeyd7283]

No way! Very cool.

[@paulwharton1850]

Amazing - I never knew you could do that - Many thanks. ....and to think I chucked out my favourite glass because of a chipped rim and can't get another one !

[@toastrecon]

What if you had a glass rod and wanted to attach it to the side of the glass? Make a kind of pitcher handle for it, and then if you heated everything and then superheated the contact points, would they "bond"?

[@electronicsNmore]

Hi Dave. If the area is hot enough, it would fuse together. Practice using cheap dollar store glassware.

[@tigretiburon8648]

Good stuff though. Thanks. I started with oil burners when I was 11yo. I used to sell 'em for 5$ to crank heads. Most of the time it would be 4 & change in penny's.

[@mtrltoolman]

great video as always.

[@electronicsNmore]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tunafish3216]

Nice repair something good to know.

[@geojor]

thanks for this video ...

[@thecrazy8888]

Has anyone tried this on a very thick glass? I have a large A&W mug that has cracks defining a chip that would be about dime sized, but it hasn't fallen off. I was wondering if I would be able to make those cracks melt into each other. But being very thick, it worries me. It's like trying to work repairs on the foot of that glass you have.

[@UKDroneShow]

I’m trying to find out how to make a larger indent in the side of a pint glass

[@jusbeemeephotography2952]

Do you have a video that’s shows how to fix a chip on a vintage Pyrex lid? The ones that went with corningware?

[@electronicsNmore]

No, just this glass repair video.

[@xx_sTNR_v]

Could you heat up a glass like this and somehow repair it? I have a drinking glass that has 1 line crack about 2 inches long and for sentiment reasons i really dont want to throw it away and would love to repair it......and advise is deeply appreciated

[@electronicsNmore]

If a glass is cracked, never heat it. The crack will greatly extend.

[@engjds]

Will this work with lead crystal?

[@electronicsNmore]

I would think so, but I've never tried. Go to a Goodwill store and buy something cheap to experiment

[@engjds]

@@electronicsNmore I ask, because I poured boiling water into a crystal vase once and it shattered, maybe with very gentle temp changes, thanks for the video, good info!

[@engjds]

@@electronicsNmore PS: think this could also repair hairline cracks in the middle of glass ware?

[@exiakiaz]

Many thanks for the excellent video. Would this work with a lead crystal glass ? Exiakiaz.

[@electronicsNmore]

Hello. I never tested it on crystal, but I would think it works. Thanks for watching!

[@prasitious]

What do you put the glass on, when it's in the oven?

[@electronicsNmore]

Broiler pan

[@phyllisrabun7825]

Hi, thanks for the video! Do you think this would be worth trying with a butane micro-torch?

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes, that'll work fine. Make sure you preheat correctly, and follow the exact cooling process outlined in the video. If you don't, the glass will break. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share my wide range of videos with others.

[@EsamoKoram]

Cool

[@jennieb.786]

Would this work on Crystalite

[@electronicsNmore]

Not sure. The best thing to do is try it on another broken, small piece.

[@snot416]

It's dull and brown instead of sparkling and bluish color.

[@jjr455]

Just wondering if you use a gas or electric oven. the reason I ask, with the electric oven, the top and bottom elements come on for the heat up. Is that ok?

[@electronicsNmore]

Electric. It makes no difference, just get the oven hot. Thanks for watching! I have a lot of excellent videos on my channel that cover many different subjects, so be sure to check out my extensive video playlists for other videos of interest to you, rate thumbs up, and share my channel with others.

[@sonicstep]

Why place that glass on a potential ignition source?

[@electronicsNmore]

Better contrast for the video.

[@brerob4567]

What about fixing glass that is colored?

[@electronicsNmore]

Hello. The process works on all glass(untempered) regardless of color. Practice first!

[@sharadanrorabaugh2774]

Would this method work for a think glass plate that is cracked but not all the way through? I cracked an imitation antique glass plate by putting food that was too hot on it and I'm hoping to repair it

[@electronicsNmore]

No, once heat is applied, the crack will get worse.

[@sharadanrorabaugh2774]

electronicsNmore thanks for the reply. So do you think there is anything I can do for the crack? I have seen epoxy suggested but i don't think it will work on this case because their is no room to get it in the crack since the plate is still intact.

[@Tekqueen24]

Could you repair a crystal glass with this method?

[@electronicsNmore]

I never tried, but it should work. Thanks for watching!

[@UKDroneShow]

Hi ‘ do you have an email address or way of contacting you ‘ ?

[@brian752]

I noticed that after heating in the oven the glass appeared to have an off color tint. Before heating the glass was more brilliant.

[@Jane_Ricciardi]

[@DarioDAversa]

I tried this to repair a cracked tumbler, but it cracked even more as I applied the flame on it. :( What did I do wrong? I didn't warm it up enough?

[@andrewstrom3785]

Cracks are different from chips, and they would probably tend to run further no matter what, but maybe if it was first filled with CA glue then heating it slowly; however, I wouldn't want the heated CA burning in my oven, so now we need a special experiment oven, man this is getting expensive... lol

[@TeresaMiAmore]

Amazing!!!! Who knew!!?🤔 I guess you did!!!👍🏽

[@diamond6256]

WOW I wish you lived in TExas.

[@onjofilms]

Very informative. Got a story for you. Was dating this girl back in 93-94 and she was cooking. So I walk in and she's got a Pyrex rectangle deep dish on the stove (wire ring heaters) I went to say, "You shouldn't cook that on that." and after I got the last 'that' out, it exploded. Only minor cuts.

[@TheLarryBrown]

How did the food turn out?

[@arthurmorgan8966]

My 50oz Bodum French Press beaker suffered a minor crack after being dropped into sink at very close distance, didn't want to risk pouring hot water into it again for making coffee. I wonder if it will be possible to fix it like this with a blowtorch.

[@electronicsNmore]

The point of the crack will extend once heated.

[@tooterr102e.9]

Another very informative and interesting video. A definite thumbs up. A shot of water anyone. Cheers. Lol. Thank you.

[@FrankTranDesign]

Nice! I have a question. How would you tackle fixing glass that partially cracked from adding cold water? I accidentally splashed some cold water into an empty hot glass pitcher and it has a crack. Can I use this method to re-weld that crack?

[@electronicsNmore]

As soon as you apply heat to that glass, the crack is going to get bigger.

[@FrankTranDesign]

@@electronicsNmore ah, darn. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly
