Things You Will Need

  • Rag
  • Clear Adhesive Or Superglue
  1. Place the mouth of the wineglass on a flat surface.

  2. Squeeze a small amount of clear adhesive or superglue around the fragmented stem.

  3. Holding the broken stem base in one hand and securing the mouth of the wineglass with the other hand, gently press the base piece onto the breakage area, taking care to line up the fragmented edges as closely as possible.

  4. Release the hand that's holding the mouth of the wineglass, then gingerly wipe the glued area clean of excess adhesive using a damp rag (paper-towel or dry-rag fibers may stick to the glass).

  5. Hold the wineglass in place for 30 seconds.

  6. Let it dry overnight before using.
