[Amps] Cracked Chimney

[Jim Dawson]

The folks at Mid Rivers Glassblowing are friends of mine. They build and repair lab glass. I don't
know how much it would cost but I'm sure they could fix it. They are near St. Louis, MO.
Tell Ed that Jim Dawson sent you.

  Subject: [Amps] Cracked Chimney



  I have managed to put a crack in my chimney (SK-506 for 4-1000 etc).  The 
  crack is such that I am afraid that even the pressure from the metal clips 
  will cause a large piece of the glass to break off.

  Has anyone had any luck either repairing such a crack or having a glass 
  repair firm do it?  I have looked around for some such repair service, but 
  have not had any luck.  I was hoping to find someone that repairs antique 
  glass.  I would think that in the right hands the glass could be heated and 
  re-joined?

  As these chimneys are getting scarce I'd like to repair this one - but I'm 
  probably looking at a cost equal or greater than what I can pay for a 
  replacement.  Any thoughts?

  Merry Christmas to all.
