I am new to glass working and I know glass blowing is more than just bongs or any kind of pieces but the mouthpiece of my bong was broken off thanks to my friend. it has a lot of sentimental value to me and I have been working with soft glass to make beads for necklaces and was wondering if its possible with just a hothead torch and soft glass to repair it onto the hard pyrex glass?

No soft glass mix in.. but, if the top broke off evenly you could fire polish the edge with a hot head.

Don't try it though.

I would.

Absolutely Not !!! :) don't mix the two glass's together !!! They have
different melting temps and chemical make-ups... :)
