Igor Miles Stravinsky Davis (er, I mean DS) here: The way I repair chips in crystal mouthpieces is to clean the chipped area with acetone solvent, then quickly fill the chip with a bit of clear epoxy (preferably the stronger, slower-setting variety, as the "5-minute" versions never really harden sufficiently). Overfill the chip slightly with a projecting mound of epoxy. to allow for shrinkage (which is significant in the first day of curing). Wait a couple of days, then sand the epoxy flush and reface the mouthpiece.
