Fix Chipped Glasses
By Benjamen Johnson
Don’t throw out your favorite beer mug just because you chipped the rim — with DMT’s Crystal Saver file you can smooth the sharp edges and keep on drinking without cutting up your lip.
The Crystal Saver is a 4″ long half-round nickel file coated with a coarse grit of diamonds. DMT gave the file a fake crystal handle — probably so you’ll put it in the silverware drawer, not the toolbox.
It’ll smooth jagged edges on hard material such as glass, china, or ceramic. Just moisten the file and take a few light strokes over the chip with the flat side. Use the round side to take care of sharp dips.
You’ll pay around $18 for the Crystal Saver.

a Dremel with a sanding drun works very well for this on glasses (drinking glasses, not eyeglasses) and stoneware, etc.

That’s a mighty high premium for the pretty handle. Don’t encourage this.

I normal glass file although bigger is far cheaper.
