I had a few chips in my Vintage Knoll Barcelona coffee table. I repaired it using a general purpose epoxy. The fix isn’t perfect but it’s very presentable.
I used System 3 general purpose epoxy.
Be careful this stuff flows very nicely. The table top must be perfectly flat or you are going to have a mess on your hands.

In CA, USA people come to your home and repair it just like they would the edge of a broken glass door. I had a table get chipped in a move and cannot find anyone to do the work. Same as you, vintage table and they have even offered to cut the glass shorter for as much as a new piece of glass. Hope I can find someone to do the work. So appreciate the video and not just tossing out the glass when it can be repaired.

You might be able to rent one? Some hardware stores do this, or some communities have "tool libraries" you can borrow from. If you only need to do this once it's a pretty economical option.

I wonder if I could use this method to fill a chip in the side of my large fish tank the tank still has a seal it’s just like half of the glass that is chipped out I would have to build the corner like you maybe tape but I wonder if it would be better to use something Rigid to get that nice sharp corner….. I wonder what I could use maby a hard plastic and tape it on or seal it temporarily
@Jiorgiapeach
@Jiorgiapeach Год назад
I would not mess with fish tank stuff. Depending on their size, they have masssive amount of pressure on them from their contents, so if they fail at any point, the whole thing kind of bursts and breaks, contents everywhere.

Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for. At what point do you heat the epoxy to remove the bubbles? Right after applying it or do you wait for a certain amount of time? Thanks.
@MSGEngineering
@MSGEngineering 3 года назад
I do it right after I pour. Then come back an hour later. The bubbles are formed when the epoxy goes into small cracks replacing air. With glass it’s less of an issue because it is not potions. It’s a much bigger issue with wood

Crossing my fingers you see this and reply even though it’s a 2 year old video... I have a vintage table top that had some similar chips. I have already filled the chips with epoxy but now I’m afraid to sand. Did you use just regular sand paper or something else? I’ve seen some people say that you have to use Diamond grit or silicon carbide sand paper on glass, but it looks like you used regular sand paper. I’m afraid of scratching up the glass and then not being able to polish it out. I especially don’t want to ruin it because it’s a beautiful vintage piece. Any advice? Thank you!

As long as you don't use ruff grit sandpaper you won't get yourself in to much trouble. Start with 1000 grit and work your way up to 1500 then 2000 and finish up with polishing compound like the stuff they use on automotive paint finishes.

Is this epoxy resin? Like the kind of resin they are using now for resin pours (artwork), I’ve seen people use resin (2 parts 50/50) for a thick gloss like on bar tops. I’ve used this same resin from craft store- I chipped a 2 inch by half inch corner off glass top, I need to repair/mold new edge and corner- do you think this would work? Ty!!
@MSGEngineering
@MSGEngineering 2 года назад
Yes. It is the 2 part 50/50 stuff. As long as you use a border it should work perfectly fine. Just make sure the glass is level.

Hi! I have the chip. Should I use epoxy to glue it back, THEN heat and polish? Because if I just glue it you see the line. Help! I want to do this myself. No one in town does it. No one will come to the house to fix my glass. So I accept the challenge.

If you have the chip. I would try to epoxy it in place. You may see a slight line but I think you would be better off.
