Showerthought: My junk ceramic bowl fix for wobbly glass bottoms
I kept making blown glass pieces that wouldn't sit flat on a table. On a whim, I picked up a cheap ceramic bowl from a thrift store. Now when I shape the hot glass, I use the bowl's curve to form the bottom evenly. For example, I made a cup last week that actually stands straight without rocking. This silly trick cut down my frustration with lopsided work big time. Maybe try it if you're dealing with the same headache.

My buddy tried that bowl trick for his blown glass vases last month.

How broken were they really though?

My local hardware store had a two-part epoxy that worked.
