Chip in glass

Wigglez · 04/21/2018, 06:50 PM

I pulled my tank out of storage. Was cleaning it up when I noticed this chip on the outside of the glass.

Is there anyway to fix it or am I stuck with this unsightly blemish?

Already drilled? If not turn it around.

Hard to tell how serious that is though from the picture... might not want to deal with it at all.

Kind if hard to see how bad it is in the picture, but being in the middle of the pane, I might be looking for another tank.

+1 ... Might not be worth the hassle

It cannot be fixed...

Bummer. Was clinging to a tiny bit of hope that it could.

IDK if it would work but if it’s on the outside you could try what they use to repair chips on windshield glass. I’ve never done it, but it might work possibly

If I read correctly, it doesn't work as it's a different type of glass.

It looks like I'm just going to sell it to somebody that's looking for a reptile tank.
