I have a visitherm 175w heater that my son broke and i need the glass for it.Yeah, i know that i can buy another but I'd rather just fix this one,so that i don't just throw away a perfectly good heater.

However if its onl cracked you can try silicone to reseal it.

what? he wanted an idea. Theres no reason to use a broken one but if you want to use one it would be worth a shot. also silicone isnt conductive and more than likely youd just short out the heater and kill it anyway.AceofSpades;4558927; said:Try? Iv never heard of this and it just sounds like a really really bad idea. You could electrocute and or cook your fish pretty easy using a broken heater.
