Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I just got into my turkey vest that was hanging out in the garage since the Spring and I discoverd the Kaiser glass over glass call I wont last year to have a crack across the glass!!!!!!! I know it was fine when I hung it up, so the only thing I can think is that it expanded/contracted and cracked over the winter. I've never had a problem before leaving my gear in the garage, it's not heated but it stays warmer than outside simply from the head of the house radiating into it (and it's insulated). Anyway....I know this is lost for this season, but is there any way to chip out that glass and replace it?  ? If I get it out, what sort of epoxy is used to secure the glass to the wood pot??? Thanks.......  |

Have you put a striker to it yet?
It still might sound OK.

Yeah, it actually does sound ok Woody...... I'd have to have it side by side with an unbroken one to hear any difference but even broken it sounds good. I just wouldn't want to accidentally hit that crack with the striker while working a bird....it could really bugger things up.

Use your goose call. That sounds like a turkey.

Use your goose call. That sounds like a turkey. Hardy-har-har. LOL I'll sit it aside for this season, I've got plenty of other slates....and a goose call too Jack!  (goose calls make for great locator calls on turkeys) |

I actually bought a slate call last year from turkey tamer at the BSTS in Feb, I used it the first day and found it had a crack across the glass just like it. They replaced at the show this year for me. The maker told he he found out after the calls were made the glue he used expanded and this caused the glass to break.....

Probably the wood expanded and contracted with temp and humidity changes. I pm'd you with ways to get the glass out. be careful not to burn the wood.

Use your goose call. That sounds like a turkey. Be careful Jack, you'll end up on the cover of the next issue of Hunting Indiana Enquirer. Besides, I heard it sounded more like a fawn caught in a barb wire fence. Seems to me like he's already coming up with excuses in case he gets skunked this year. Always a smart move. |

I found that just the right amount of milk/donut glaze will get the glass out.
Sorry Travis, I'm of absolute NO real help on this, but it still doesn't keep me from chiming in.

Travis, I was wishing you would have called me and let me know and then I realized that you just posted this, this morning. I will replace the glass for you if you haven't gotten it fixed all ready. I could probably have it back to you by next weekend. If you get it to me I will get it back to you as quick as the post office will let me.
If you haven't all ready gotten it fixed, then let me know. I could mail you a piece of conditioned glass and you would have it by Wednesday.
Andy Kaiser
