JVVmarbles Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I recently bought an amazing huge 4 lobed onionskin with mica, but it has 2 very large chips (only clear glass is missing). What kind of material would work best in filling these large chips? Does any of you have good tips? thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVVmarbles Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've asked a professional glass restorer who works for museums to do it. She charges about $150 to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
