How to Repair a Broken Window
Whether from a bad storm or a ball kicked by your neighbor's kids broken windows are not something to be ignored. It could lead to further issues including leakage of water or drafts that increase the cost of energy.
Depending on the size of the crack, there are several options to fix it. Here are some suggestions to think about:
Tape
A tape that's old-fashioned can be used to temporarily fix cracks in your windows. It's easy to use, cheap and effective. Be sure to cover both sides of the crack so that it's as secure as possible. This will decrease the amount of air that can enter the window, which could cause further damage to the glass, or cause it to shatter. Clear tape is a good alternative because it looks better than duct tape and doesn't leave a sticky residue when you remove it.
There is also specialized adhesive tape that is specifically designed for repairing torn window screens and is available at a variety of hardware stores. It is available in 2 x 30' lengths and creates a invisible patch that will prevent the crack or tear from spreading further. It is ideal for boat enclosure windows tent or RV vinyl windows, and even soft top car windows. It is easy to install and doesn't require any special tools or knowledge. Simply cut the appropriate size and then remove the release paper. Then apply. It is resistant to UV and saltwater and made from a durable material which can withstand harsh environments. You'll save a lot of money by not having to replace the entire window.
Super Glue
Super glue can be used to repair chips or cracks in glass. These adhesives join with hydroxyl ions that are present on the glass's surface and create a firm grip in just a few seconds. Cyanoacrylate glues are also good for attaching wood, metal and ceramic to glass because they can withstand moisture and high temperatures. If you have a huge project to complete you may think about using epoxy glues or silicone to ensure a stronger hold and faster drying.
Before applying any glue to a window that has been damaged, it's important to prepare the surface. You'll need to eliminate any debris that may be present and ensure that both surfaces are completely clean and dry. It may be beneficial to roughen up the surface a bit as well, especially if the surface is extremely smooth. A gentle sanding provides the adhesive a larger area to stick to, resulting in a stronger bond.
If you are ready to start the actual repair, it is important to use a product that is specifically designed for glasses. This will ensure that the glue is safe to use and doesn't leave any ugly marks or fingerprints. If you can, opt for an adhesive that is clear, and is transparent after it has dried. Avoid glues that expand when they dry, since this can cause cracks in glass.
You will also need to think about the manner in which the glass is to be used. If it's intended to be kept in a closed space and not be subjected to excessive stress, then a simple super glue will work fine. However, if the glass is intended to be used as part of the windshield it is advisable to choose an adhesive that is weatherproof.
Super glues typically take a few seconds to bond, however, they may have different cure times. It is important to read the directions carefully since some require accelerators made of chemicals in order to accelerate the drying process. It's a good idea to work in an area that is well-ventilated and open windows to increase air flow. This will help the glue dry faster. You can also make use of a fan to boost the flow of air around your work area. This will allow it to dry quicker.

Paint
When painting a window, it is essential to complete a thorough job. This will make the new coat of paint look attractive and will also ensure that it is able to stick well. Be sure to clean the window and scrape off any paint or wood that has escaped. Take out all hardware, including handles and latches. You will also want to sand down the surface you are going to paint. This will create an even surface that the primer and paint will be able to bond with.
Make sure to protect the window's area by using painters tape and plastic sheeting. This will stop paint from accumulating on areas that are not intended to be painted. I like to use green frog tape to do this, as it gives a crisp line and makes it easy to remove once the time arrives. It's also a good idea to use painters tape for any delicate outer edges that connect to the wall surfaces.
After the window is secured and the window is secured, it's time to begin the actual painting process. You'll need to apply several coats of primer, and let them dry before moving on. Once you've finished the primer, it's a good idea to give the entire area an easy sanding using fine-grit sandpaper. This will help to make the surface smooth for the next coat of paint. It will also help in removing any dust that may have accumulated.
If you are using acrylic or oil base paints and primers then you'll need to wait for them to fully dry before you can begin painting. Depending on the brand of paint you're using, this could take up to 24 hours.
Once the primer and paint are completely dry, it's now time to paint. Paint Learn Additional (horizontals first) prior to the stiles (verticals). This will prevent any drips from accumulating on the glass. Also, be sure to have a damp cloth handy to wipe away any drips of paint as soon as they happen.
