How can I 'round out' a stemware base that has chips?
I found a lovely, small crystal candle holder on a stem - Waterford no less but there are 2 chips in the base. The rest of it is completely solid, no imperfections. I seem to remember seeing somewhere that you can do a minor repair with glue but don't remember if it's hot glue, super glue or whatever. Am not finding what I need on line. Any suggestions? TIA.

Id use a Dremel and grind out the chips. Practice on a cheap drinking glass first. Work slow and you can do it.
I've been told you can use fine sand paper gently on it to smooth the edges.
Try using an emery board to sand the chip edges.
see reply above
If you want to fill in the space rather than just smooth it, would a dab of hot glue work?
I have to wonder about those glass-blowers that you see at the County Fairs and such - they use a small (acetylene?) torch. You might find one of these people and ask whether they could do something to fill rather than just smooth the edges of your glassware. There would be a cost, of course. And perhaps some jewelers or high-end glassware dealers would have information on a compound that would do the job for you. Pretty glassware is lovely to find, I wish you luck!
