Re: Glass shards in electric fireplace
Here is what we did: We went to the hardware store and got clear two part epoxy. The process is explained with the pics. I will mention two mistakes that we made. One: we did not get a good seal with the silicone and we had a small blowout with the epoxy. It scraped off easily enough once it dried, but could have been avoided. Two: When pouring the epoxy, we did not allow for the volume of the glass pieces and with the epoxy and glass it ended up being deeper than we has planned. It worked out ok by fluffing once it partially set up, but would have been easier to have not had it so thick. Super glaze ultra gloss epoxy We started by masking off the area Then sealing off all openings Mix the epoxy as directed on the box and pour into the trough. Add in the glass, rocks or whatever We waited until the epoxy began to set up and fluffed the glass up so as to give it dimension Let dry and here it is.229Views0likes0CommentsGlass shards in electric fireplace
I have an electric fireplace in my 2013 Open Range and every time we travel the decorative glass shards shift and spills between the glass panel and metal case. After we stop when we get to where we are going, I have to pull the metal frame and glass off to pick up all the decorative shards that have shifted out of the tray. Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening? Had a thought of buying some acrylic and setting the shards in the acrylic to keep them from moving. Any thoughts?
