Just a heads up.
I sell the glass / heater pre-assembled and I have shipped around the world including Australia without incident.
I'm using the Borosilicate glass which is flat and doesn't warp when heated. I use the same company that makes the heaters for the Da Vinci so they fit and work perfectly.
Probably seen it but here is the thread.

Thanks
i have attempted to fill the gouges with high temp epoxy. J B Weld is the local brand at jaycar's.
Here is the bed scrapped to get the filling level. Putting the edge to my eye I cannot detect any warping.
Also is this going to be a failed kettle element situation?
I wonder if I should try to sand this out and solder over the area?
Did the expoxy work?
How did the expoxy holdup?
Thx
In the past I repaired windshields - bullet holes and small cracks (similar to what appeared on my own glass bed). The repairs were done with a kit of parts available from motor factors (e.g.WINDSHIELD GLASS REPAIR KIT STONE DAMAGE CHIP MODEL on ebay). The repair was supposed to be stronger than the original glass. The liquid once applied needs UV to be cured - which is OK for a windshield out in the sunshine, so the platform needs to be left out in the sun until fully cured - unless of course a UV lamp is available! The excess cured resin can be scraped off level with the glass surface with a sharp razor blade.
I had considered doing that to my glass bed when a hole opened up in the glass, but instead got a piece of glass as used in coal/wood burners. I had it cut to size and so far it has worked very well.

I doubt the windshield repair kit would hold due to the heat.. The glass gets far hotter in the printer then it ever would on a car in the sun..
Your photo shows the epoxy on the board right? Did u try using after cured.
Did you lay the new glass over the old?

I thought he said he put it on the glass. There is no board on a Da Vinci bed. It is a very as paper thin printed pattern on adhesive backing stuck to the glass. That is why everyone is so paranoid of the glass breaking through as it could sever the film as well.
