I I remember correctly, JB has a fairly high temp rating? I typically use Acraglas to "glue" on the glass to a platen face, and it will usually pop loose by the time the steel part of the platen face turns blue....with a propane torch, and the platen face laid across some wide open vise jaws.
Unless that chip is causing some issues, I'd leave it. I had a glass face that I chips in nearly the same place.... and I ran it for about another year before it just bugged me enough to replace.
Speaking of glass platen faces, Beaumont/KMG is working on a protype face for the Caffrey Platen they are producing....... they are using 2 roll pins, evenly spaced at the bottom for a "shelf"........
