CA glue will make it better. Filler her up and try and pinch it or clamp it as good as ya can.,.<><

It's blurry of course, but if its where I think it is, (right on the edge of the glass, maybe 1/4" long on the belly) I would just sand it out.  Take the taper a little higher at a sharp angle so you don't weaken the riser.

I just got off the phone with 3 rivers. they informed me that spot drilling was the ticket. I asked about the idea of "fade sandind it" that was also another way. Thanks Bowdude. I may go that route tonight.
