How to Fix a Cracked Glass: 3 Working Methods

If you notice a small crack in a window, which could have formed, for example, due to a stone, do not rush to replace the entire window.

There are several effective ways to hide the crack and prevent it from getting bigger.

Clear nail polish

This method is not the most reliable, but it will help to fix the crack in the window for a while. Clean the cracked area, stick masking tape and apply a clear coat on top. Let the coat dry and apply another coat if necessary.

Superglue

Clear superglue will fill and strengthen the crack in the window. Buy glue that is specifically designed for glass. Work slowly, carefully filling the gaps with glue.

Epoxy resin

This repair method is the most durable and invisible. Clean the damaged area with dish soap and dry the surface. In a well-ventilated area, mix the two-part epoxy resin on a piece of cardboard or a disposable plate.

Mix the resin with a toothpick for at least 20 seconds, then immediately apply it to the crack with a putty knife. After a couple of minutes, which is enough for the mixture to dry, remove the excess with something sharp.

All that remains is to wipe the window with a napkin soaked in acetone and leave the glass alone for a day.
