I broke my bowl today while cleaning it, I dropped it and it snapped into two in the middle of the stem. It fits back together fine and would probably work if I just held it together but is there a way to put it back together?
 
We super-glued a bubbler that my friend dropped and broke in half. If its a clean break you shouldn't have much of a problem fixing it. Try some super glue or maybe a glue specially made for glass.
 
I snapped a traditional slider for my bong when I was trying to clean it. I just used scotch tape, lol. I haven't had any problems since. Mine was a clean break too.
 
I wouldn't use super glue, idk if that shit's very good very good for you, especially when it gets heated. Try some silicone caulking?
 
tape might kind of fall off because of the heat going through the stem. and you definitley dont want to be repeatedly heating super glue. maybe look for some fancy ass stuff thats made for glass or high temps. or just dont be a scab and buy a new one hahah
 
One time I broke a slide and I fixed it with scotch tape...the tape ended up sort of melting in and sealing up the crack (it was a clean break) in the glass, and the slide actually worked that way for a while.

Honestly, I think it's time for you to do some bowl-shopping, but if you need a temporary fix my idea should help.

Click to expand...

I would just buy a new one, most headshops have downstems and sliders for bongs....
 
Ason Unique...us stoners don't rip people off. I'd be pissed as hell if someone sold me cracked glass, or even assumed I may have been dumb enough to buy it. Good karma bro, just keep it around as a back up incase you have one break at some point beyond any sort of repair.
 
What you wanna do is pour lots of superglue into the bowl, and then put it to your mouth and draw the air through,
this'll help it dry faster ;)

then while its still wet, smoke some weed through it, helping to dry it more.





have fun, kids. =]
 
my friend had this happen to him. luckily the broken part wasn't sharp and we just put our mouths directly on that. the length of the pipe was a little shorter but it still worked fine. it was a decent piece so he didn't want to throw it out.
 
Yeah I got it sealed airtight now, hits fine, the superglue is not near the bowl at all, the stem broke in half that was all. I original put enough on the inside of the broken area to seal it, and then when it dried, sealed the outside crack with another layer and sucked in so it went in the cracks. As long as I don't take the bowl and physically try to snap it in half, it should be fine.
