If your Bong is cracked...

So have you ever run into this problem? Well I think I've found a solution. I've cracked my bong twice now, one was bad, the other was serious, but neither had glass seperate from the actual bong. I have used liquid nail on both cracks to prevent leaking and hold them in place... The first crack was bad but not too bad, it was a U shaped crack, I liquid nailed that, the 2nd crack that just happened the other day was an O shaped crack, it cracked in a complete circle, almost... It stopped where the other liquid nail was applied.
This got me thinking. Is there a rubber coating or plastic coating we can put on our already cracked bongs, so we don't have to throw away money? I then came to think... PlastiDip!!!
We can dip our bongs that are cracked in plastidip and they will Never crack again! (Unless you smash it hard on concrete). 
I'm going to do this for this poor little bong, I'll save it's life from further cracks. I accidentally set it down on my clear glass jar because I wasn't looking down when I set it down, I was looking at my cellphone which was ringing. I didn't answer the phone as the bong was leaking like mad from the crack.
Soon I will fix this!

I usually gorilla glue anything as long as heat won't get near it. I make all of my bongs and pipes though.

PlastiDip...good call. My old landlord broke my glass hookah in half several years ago, but it split without shattering so I mended it with clear Gorilla glue. Worked perfectly.

This is why I use a plastic bong with a glass bowl.

This bong is 3 years old and has gone on roadtrips and everything, it's bound to get some damage. Plastic bong would be nice but I wouldn't like the weight or feeling of it. When I dip the bong I plan to leave the neck undipped (since it's thicker glass than the base).

I've bought all my bongs based on the "coolness" of the glass. If a bong becomes damaged, for me it becomes "retired" and I get a new one. I couldn't imagine dipping it in PlastiDip. That is very McGuyver-ish though. lol.

A friend who's into fish tanks and stuff turned me onto this fish tank silicone that is really good for fixing pieces. Had a huge crack in the bottom of my bong, put some of the silicone on it and it worked good as new. I just like it because it isn't harmful to fish once it cures so I think it'd be pretty safe to be in contact with bong water.

Well this crack was almost a spiderweb crack, evenb after siliconing the crack it's leaking a few drops per hour (you can feel the moisture but it doesn't drop the bong waterlevel down), and I don't have any money, I really fucked myself over sunday, got a DUI so I have to put my money all into that and fines (I blew less than .1). I would much rather have a new bong, but a few bucks for a can of plastidip does the trick... Eventually I'll retire my baby.

Look at the handle of a pair of pliers. That is plastidip.
