Help Me Fix My Pipe..
Ok, I got back the remains (3 pieces but the entire thing) of my first glass pipe ever and it's from like the 70's. It was broke into 3 pieces but they connect back together perfectly with no leaks. I was wondering what kind of glue should I use to recover this baby and smoke with it on occasion? Like, is there some kind of non-toxic glue that would be best or something? Because there is a little part where it glues back very close to where the flame would be.
Thanks alot guys,
Merry X-Mas

I dunno dude I can understand the nostalgia factor in that but id just go out and buy a new one, fucking with glue on things that you put your mouth on and inhale can be messed up really easily.

maybe a glass blower can re-melt the glass back togehter? i dont know much about glass blowing. yea i wouldnt sujest glue, but i use hot glue for all my homemade things. only problem is if it gets really hot, it goes gooey again.

try some silicone sealent, a lot of people use it for bongs and to seal aquariums, it drys clear and should work, just dont make it a habit of smoking out of it, im not sure how safe it is

i know someone who filled in a chip in their piece with hot wax and it worked perfect but i have no idea if that would work to put a pipe back together

get the super strong epoxy that u have to mix 2 parts together to make it harden. i would not use silicon sealer cause that stuff dries like jello and will melt with the slightest amount of heat

if the flame is going to be on the "adhesive" (whatever it is you decide to use) there is nothing safe... all of it would burn with flame (everything from elmers glue to 2-part epoxxy) touching it, and all i would imagine wouldn't be good... so there's not much you can do outside of getting a glass blower to fix it for you... look around on the net for glass blowers.. there are alot out there that have decent reputations and fix glass things for people, i'll find a link later if you can't (if you actually try) and i would imagine it might cost 20-30 bucks to get it fixed, but i'm sure someone would be willing to do it out there... there is no home remedy to smoke out of it safely if flame is going to get near this stuff... i understand why you want to fix it, i have a bong me and my bro used to use all the time, an acrylic one kind of like a hookah... he died, and a year later my other bro foun dit in someone's closet so he stole it back and gave it to me, but all that was left was the main body part of it... the tubes, the top, the bowl, everything was gone... i just keep it hanging around now... pretty much unusable.... i'm sorry to say it, but if you can't get a glass blower to do it for you, there is nothing that will get it back... if you do, make sure you clean it good with alcohol to make sure all resin and residue is gone, just to keep everything legal...

ok..ive gone thru this many times..
recently i dropped my sherlock bubbler and had a very clean break on the neck of it..
here is what u need. Go to any hardware store and buy EPOXY GEL. It is a lil thicker and doesnt run. Next, mix the 2 parts like the pkg says and put the glue n the parts of the glass that the smoke wont be touching, so try to get it towards the outside edge. You can always rub off the excess when u push the peices together. Then it hardens in about 10 min or so, and it should work perfectly. My bubbler hits perfectly, no glue is gonna get in the smoke, and you could never tell it was broken unless it is closely examined. Good luck, and some people jus dont understand the love one can have for a good peice of glass :)

if you do, do that... be really careful, maybe even go to the model car part of a walmart or something and get a detailing brush (really small thin brush) just to make sure you don't get it on the inside of the pipe, and since you are basicly going to be using next to no epoxxy.... here are some tips, first, only you shall smoke out of the pipe, because i'ts goign to require the utmost care when handling, don't chief on it (take a hit after hit and so on, so that the pipe gets warm) as that will more than likely weaken the seal... and never like bang the bowl in your hand to empty it, you're going to have to like get a paper clip or something so that all the crap left over just easily dumps out by turning it upside down
