How do you repair a crack in glass?

Question

We have a window with a small crack. Is there any way to repair it, or do we have to replace the window?

Answer 1

My husband cracked our huge bay window last year while putting wood filler underneath the sill. It cracked all the way across,was raining & began to seep water down onto the window seat. I called my local glass shop & he told me nothing can fix a broken glass,only replace it. He did give me a great alternative until I replaced it & said to wipe it dry & put clear UPS tape across the crack. I did & it kept the water out for a year & then we did replace the glass.

Answer 2

Glass Crack Filler
