My 500 Shapton Glass is separating from the metal backing. Anyone dealt with this? It appears the stone is warping, not the metal.

Re: Shapton Glass separating from back
Never heard or seen this, that sounds like something shapton or the retailer would warranty. A few pictures would help us understand what’s going on better.

Re: Shapton Glass separating from back
Hi Will, I'll assume for now that you are talking about EP stones and my short answer is "No!"
Having said this, I have had issues with my EP stones "warping" between uses and started a thread about this - see here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1726&p=15504&hilit= ... ial#p15504
So, I'm wondering for your situation, if this warping phenomenon was repeated many times, could it then cause some slight de-lamination over time.
Just a left field thought

Yes, my SG 500 stone for the EP lifted very slightly off the aluminum blank at one end after a couple of years. I held them apart a bit more, put a small drop of superglue in the gap, gave it a few seconds to drip down in, squeezed it shut and clamped overnight. It has been fine since then.
