How to repair a crack in window glass
It is quite possible to remove a crack in a window glass, although you will have to work hard.
Preparatory stage
Before you get started, you need to prepare the surface for the procedure. To do this, you will need to wash the glass on both sides. You must wear rubber gloves to carry out the procedure; you can use any product intended for cleaning windows.
After all dirt and accumulated dust have been removed from the surface of the glass, it is necessary to wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth. The glass must be completely dry, otherwise the result after sealing the crack will quickly disappear.
Degreasing
After you are sure that the glass is clean and dry, it must be thoroughly degreased. Professionals recommend using available materials, such as acetone or gasoline.
It is important to pay attention to ensure that after the degreasing stage there is no lint left from the napkins on the glass.
Repairing a crack
You can seal a crack in the window glass using silicone glue purchased in a store, or you can prepare a repair composition yourself.
Repairing a crack with silicone glue
This product is indispensable when working with glass. On sale you can find tubes with a wide or narrow neck. If you purchased the first option, then it is more convenient to work with the material by taking a sufficient amount of glue into an ordinary medical syringe; If you bought glue of the second option, then you won’t have to do any additional manipulations.
- By lightly pressing the tube or syringe plunger you need to fill the crack with glue. It is important that there are no voids left.
- If the crack is wide enough, then you need to cover it on both sides with tape. Once the glue has dried, the tape can be easily removed.
- Wait for the right time. Exactly how much is indicated in the instructions on the package. The glue can dry from 12 to 24 hours.
- After the glue has dried, you need to clean the surfaces of excess material.

Then proceed in the same way as when using silicone glue. The result will please even a professional!

Primary requirements
Glass for a schoolchild's desk must meet the basic requirements, generally accepted standards for long-term, safe and comfortable use. Thanks to the advantageous properties of modern materials, it is possible to obtain the optimal combination of durability and decorativeness of the coating.
Practicality
Organic glass, unlike conventional material, has higher strength indicators. During the production process, under the influence of strong pressure, a synthetic polymer with unique properties is formed. Even when dropped, such material is able to maintain its integrity.
Ordinary glass consists of natural elements, without artificial additives, which causes fragility and a low level of resistance to mechanical stress. Plexiglas is practical, protecting the table surface from abrasion and moisture.
Plexiglas is more durable than regular glass
Ease
The low weight of the polymer is an undeniable advantage over linings made of ordinary glass. It is easy to lift the plexiglass, placing school records and notes under it. If necessary, even a child can cope with removing the cover for cleaning. The material can be trimmed and processed, allowing you to create sheets of the desired formats.
The lightness of the material allows you to effortlessly move or replace the coating. The sheet thickness can exceed 6 mm, while maintaining low weight and ergonomics. The glass format depends on the shape, configuration of the table, and individual preferences. It is also possible to order the product with various inserts, combining colored, matte, and transparent materials.
Traditionally, transparent glass is used for a school table, a sheet of which can completely cover the tabletop, or only a certain area.
The color palette of organic glass is very wide
Safety
Plexiglas overlays for desks are safe due to the special processing of the edge of the surface and the impact resistance of the material. Ordinary glass with sharp corners can pose a real threat, especially when cracks and chips occur.
Careless movement of a child at the table can cause the sheet to shift and lead to injury. It is quite difficult to cut yourself with a piece of polymer even if the integrity of the lining is damaged. Edge processing performed using special equipment will minimize the likelihood of injury.
Fixing a crack on a glass table
Hello guests and regular readers. After repairing my mouse, I can finally write a post about repairing the table.
The situation is that I bought a coffee table and carefully took it home. Everything was intact. But when I started assembling it, I forgot that this is glass, and you can’t tighten the nuts “as much as you can.” In short, the crack went about 3 centimeters from the edge. Well, I think I'll loosen the nut so that the crack doesn't go any further. As soon as I let go of it a little, it opened another 20 cm. It was just terrible. No one has yet seen or had time to admire how spoiled everything is
