Well, this isn't home-related, but something broke and it sure doesn't deserve its own thread... In a bleary-eyed haze I smacked my coffee pot against the sink a little too hard filling it up, and now it has a spiderweb fracture on the bottom about the size of a dime. Liquid doesn't exactly fall out of it (one drop coalesces on the bottom every 10 seconds or so) but I don't feel totally comfortable drinking liquids brewed in a partially broken glass container. Is there anything I can do to mend the fracture to make it totally watertight again, or do I have to get my rear end out to Wal-Mart and start pricing new coffee makers?

Fire Storm posted:Well... superglue could work (but could give an odd taste and might leak again), as could a few other things, but given how cheap a new one is, just go get a new coffee pot. The carafe itself is less than $10. No need for a whole new coffee maker. Yeah, I could have sworn they sold just carafes, but I've never actually seen one. Hell, if it's under  then it's probably cheaper than a tube of superglue....although I could use that glue to fix my sandals...

Thanks everyone who posted carafe-fixing (read: replacing) advice! I guess I'll just have to make do with walking down the block for my morning wake-up until I can get on down to the store. (though with all due respect to Goop and Shoe Goo, the superglued bits are the strongest parts of my sandals. They aren't the good everyday wearing sandals; they're the lovely shower sandals that keep me from catching whatever strain of superintelligent nanoplague is breeding in my dorm's communal shower this week.)
