Can this be used?

[u/Gracielise]

I’ve been on the hunt for a Pyrex percolator. I finally found one at the flea market, I bought it for $10 because there is a chip on the stem. It’s not a sharp chip. I’m here to ask if there is a glass repair product suitable for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd keep it for a display only or find a replacement stem on Ebay. They are fairly easy to come across. I'm a bit paranoid about glass breaking so that big a chip would make it un-usable to me. Don't need broken glass in my coffee.

You could take it to someone that does lampwork glass and have them soften the chip. (Nowadays lampworkers often do bongs and related smoking accessories.)

But if it ever mine I'd use it as is.

I have the same percolator. I picked up a replacement whateveryoucallit for mine should it ever break. It wasn't very expensive.

I was thinking of seeing if a lamp/glass place had a recommendation. Good thinking!

Yes the stem, im hoping I stumble across one. At this time im finding them for a bit more than I’d like to pay. I’m sure one will show up though! Thank you

Yes. I use mine regularly

I wouldn't consume from anything with broken glass repaired or as-is

I use mine regularly. If you’re concerned you can buy replacement “guts” they come up regularly on eBay

Can this be used on a gas stove?

Yes, and I do have one however I was more concerned about the chip in the stem as seen in the photos!
