Smashed me blender!

plastic-man

We have (had) a glass Dualit blender. Today, I poured hot water into it, as per usual, however, this time it cracked the whole glass!, It didn't shatter, just one long crack. Anyone have ANY idea how to fix this? Brown Thomas said Sweeney O'Rourke on Pearse street "repair glass". Any other ideas?

Need to replace it before the mother notices, and don't wanna splash out too much as my holiday is close!

Thanks,

The Mad Hatter

You used water straight from the kettle, didn't you?

I'd say "buy a new blender" is your best option. Even if it's only a cheap one, at least to go to the effort. These things happen.

Gawd, that's domestic.

Can't you make a crack-resistant plastic one out of body-parts?

I'd say you'll have to get a new jug, a repair will never be the same as new.
Try looking for places that sell the blender and see if they can order the jug? Or check ebay and the likes.
