Hi,

I have a round coffee table whose glass top shattered. I want to
replace the glass but face two problems:

1. The base is metal. The glass seems like it was stuck to the round
metal column coming from the base of the table. Now that the glass
shattered, there is still a fair chunk attached to the metal base. How
can I seperate the rest of the glass from the metal base so that a new
one can be laid on top of it?

2. What kind of adhesive can I use to fix the new glass on top of th
metal base or how can I fix a new glass top on the metal base?

3. If I want to take it to a glass shop to get it done, typically how
much will it cost to do this kind of thing? Will they just charge for
the glass or will they charge for the labor involved in removing the
old glass and fixing the new one?

I would be very grateful for your thoughts on this
