FUCK! i got my favorite bowl broken...

So while in summit county CO over the summer i picked up an amazing bowl from a local blower that said he was an ex roadie for the Dead... riiiight.. anyway i managed to get it and some dank all the way back to the east coast:blsmoke:.. trees were short and my buddy started to scrape at my bowls... a pair of sissors and my favorite bowl got into it apparently over a resin nug.. sissors went through the bottom of the bowl.. punched it out clean break...

please help..

peice only goes in from the inside

clean break

flame area so no glues/cements

resin as glue just burns

i bought 30 glass screens of all sizes including XXL and they are all too small... i could put a regular screen in it but that would defeat the purpose of a sick glass bowl... and i havnt seen or heard of the screenbuddys... what are they?

Damn dude, that sucks & thats a nice looking piece of glass too. I am having trouble coming up with a patch for your prob that does not include an epoxy. I'm afraid that my best suggestion is to pick up another & write it off.
Sorry, I've been racking my brain for a bit now & no luck.

Throw it on a shelf so you can loot at it and remember the good times while you're hitting your new pipe.

Sorry. Welcome to RIU

Dont do the blow torch. You run the risk of cracking the whole piece when it cools.

Get some 91% alcohol from the store and soak it before you get it fixed. Even if the blower is cool with it - Driving around with a dirty piece is illegal.
