Replacing/Repairing Glass in kitchen September 08, 2009, 08:26:40 pm Yahoo Message Number: 105663What I am talking about is the glass piece at the stove to prevent splash from the stove area. We have a chip off it at the top edge. It appears the piece is seated in some type of adhesive. Has anyone removed this and if so how difficult is the job? Second question has anyone chipped the edge of the glass and gotten it repaired somehow?Jim C

Well, my philosophy is to try cheap, easy fixes first... so I'd smooth any sharp edges with emery cloth wrapped around a piece of Pink Pearl type eraser, then apply clear nail polish to minimize visibility. That should only take about fifteen minutes. If that proved unsatisfactory, then I'd think about replacing the glass. (Yes, I do carry a glass cutter. ;-)Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

The chip is pretty near the back wall, and I considered fixing it. Then I found a small silicone pot grabber (your thumb goes in one side, the rest of your fingers in the other, it sort of looks like a puppet) and the best place to keep it was on the shield. I found it pretty much covers the chip, so I've never bothered replacing the shield.Depending on the location of the chip, this might work for you.Kate http://cholulared.blogspot.com http://www.cholulared.comWant to find us?
