Can it be done? It's a pretty good chip.
Just curious. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it can, don't they repair bottles with acrylic or something similar? Can't remember seeing it done for a hutch before but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Might be pretty pricey to get done though.

I know the one guy has a minimum of $150 & he only starts on more rare expensive Bottles. He's not going to work on $25.00 Bottles or $100.00 Bottles & who wants to pay $150 to have a $25 Bottle fixed or $100 Bottle fixed.

Not worth the price to have it professionally restored. They want to work on items valued at $15,000 and up. You could fix it with glass epoxy. If you have ever used it it can be hard if a newbie. They have alcohol resin pigments to mix in if you wanted colored repair.

It will be interesting- I have been playing with
That kind of chip- didn’t fill it but made it blend into the background. It ended well! I use windshield repair resin.
