My lead crystal decanter shattered on set right before the big dinner scene

We were filming in a rented mansion in Pasadena and the actor knocked it off the sideboard. I had to superglue it back together under the table while they reset the shot. Anyone have a better fix for clear glass that won't show on camera?

That superglue fix sounds like a real gamble for a close-up shot.

People try quick fixes for everything now. It's like we've forgotten that some things just need proper tools and a bit of patience.

Read an article about this exact thing. It talked about how quick fixes often fail because they skip the basics. Totally agree with @fiona_scott44. Saw a story where someone used tape instead of a proper clamp on a wood project. Whole thing fell apart in a week. That rush to finish just makes more work later. Patience really is a tool you have to choose to use.
